Toxic Release Inventory (TRI)

The Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) is a U.S. government program that requires certain industrial facilities to report the release of hazardous chemicals into the environment. This data helps the public, communities, and policymakers understand potential environmental impacts and health risks. By providing information on what chemicals are used and released, TRI promotes transparency, encouraging industries to reduce pollution and improve safety practices. The collected information is publicly accessible, allowing communities to stay informed about local environmental conditions and advocate for healthier surroundings.
