[Archives of environmental health digital maps and their delivery by the Internet].
Geographic Information System is becoming a very important tool for environmental health research. We have produced various digital maps for different scales for different purposes. The burst of E. Coli O-157, distribution of hazadarous chemicals in East Asia, and coastal resin pellets are some examples. It now becomes a problem how to archive these digital maps and how to retrieve these maps according to user's request. We have developed a computer system that can store various types of digital maps and can retrieve them from WWW client machines. The key concept of this archive system is to classify every digital maps according to their region of interest.
