Make available information on the location of toxic hotspots throughout the city, mapped with public health data on occurrence of thyroid disorders, cancers, neurological disorders, etc. for the purpose of examining social determinants of health and allowing for community response to toxic exposure.

I can see this directly impacting property values and providing a stimulus for people to green their neighbourhood/home.
