facilities in different industry sectors must report annually how much of each chemical is released to the environment and/or managed through recycling, energy recovery and treatment. Under the Pollution Prevention Act of 1990, TRI collects information to track industry progress in reducing waste generation and moving towards safer waste management alternatives. What is the Toxics Release Inventory TRI tracks the management of certain toxic chemicals that may pose a threat to human health and the environment. For waste that is generated, the preferred management method is recycling, followed by energy recovery, treatment, and as a last resort, disposing of or otherwise releasing the waste. EPA encourages facilities to first eliminate waste at its source (source reduction). For technical support to access the data, please email us at inrp-npriec.gc.ca. Reviewed 2022 NPRI data will be made available late fall. RSEI incorporates information from the Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) on the amount of toxic chemicals released or transferred from facilities. Preliminary 2022 NPRI data is now available on the NPRI Dashboard and NPRI data search and will be updated periodically over the summer during the annual quality control (QC) process. Click on any one of the locations on the map to see detailed information. EPA's Risk-Screening Environmental Indicators (RSEI) model helps policy makers, researchers, and communities explore data on toxic chemicals being managed by industrial and federal facilities. Looking at production-related waste managed over time helps track progress in reducing waste generated and moving toward safer waste management methods. Use the geographical selections bar above the map to show the releases of Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) chemicals reported throughout the United States for 2021. Total On-site and Off-site Disposal or Other Releases:įlorida ranks 21 out of 56 states/territories nationwide based on total releases per square mile (Rank 1 = highest releases)
