      <p><i>This query engine allows you select any data element in PCS to build a

tabular report or a Comma Separated Value (CSV) file for downloading.</i>



</p><p>There are four steps to using this query engine:

</p><ol>

<li>

Select one or more of the subjects listed below, one at a time.</li>



<li>

Select your tables of interest from the subjects selected.</li>



<li>

Select columns (data elements or fields) from the selected tables.</li>



<li>

Enter your search criteria to target specific records from the database.</li>

</ol>
 <p>
The <a href="http://www.epa.gov/enviro/html/pcs/adhoc_users_guide.html"> Customized Query Engine User's Guide </a> will provide you with detailed

information on how to use the Query Engine.

<br>

</p><p><b>WARNING:  </b>Many PCS tables contain over 1 million rows.  Output results greater than 500K (500 thousand bytes) may cause
your browser to fail.  Please limit your query through specific selection criteria.  <i>Note:  </i>Microsoft's Internet Explorer
browser handles large (greater than 500K) output results better than Netscape's Navigator browser.

</p><p></p>
