PCB Mc-SWAFA

The objective of this application is to be an interactive multi-layered geospatial visualization tool aimed towards researcher utilization. Mc-SWAFA’s goal is to allow data to be findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable, in accordance with the F.A.I.R. principles of data sharing. The motivation for this application is to make data presentable for researchers and scientists interested in PCB contamination in East Chicago, Indiana.
