Environmental Health and Safety Program

The EPA's Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) Program requires that industries report annually on the release of over 600 toxic chemicals. These chemicals are released to the air, land, and/or water.   The reports are posted online for the public to view so that communities can see what is being released into their environments. To learn more about reporting or viewing TRI data, visit the EPA's TRI Program webpage by clicking here.
