National Pollutant Release Inventory (NPRI)

The National Pollutant Release Inventory (NPRI) is a Canadian government database that tracks the amount of pollutants released into the environment by various industries and facilities. It provides transparency and helps monitor environmental impact by collecting data on emissions of substances like chemicals, heavy metals, and other harmful pollutants. This information allows policymakers, communities, and businesses to understand environmental risks, improve pollution control efforts, and work towards healthier air, water, and soil. The NPRI promotes accountability and informed decision-making to reduce environmental harm across Canada.
