The MapEcos site is done very well though it is based on 2005 data rather than the latest 2007 data released by EPA a month ago.
A Toxic Release Inventory google maps based website that uses the latest EPA data is www.toxicrisk.com.
It is very intuitive and fast and also includes links to a complete 20 year history of a facility's toxic chemical releases plus schools in the area. A balloon tells you how many schools are within 1 mile and 5 miles of the facility.
They say they'll be adding demographics and several other pollution databases soon.
www.toxicrisk.com is worth a look.
