EPA issues toxic
materials report early
Nov. 18The federal government has released
preliminary raw data on the amount of toxic materials U.S. industrial
sources emitted in 2004.
Communities and others have requested that the government release the
data earlier.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has made available the
Toxics Release Inventory data exactly as it has received it from the
generators. The data is not grouped as the traditional Public Data
Release, which the EPA will complete in the spring.
The Toxics Release Inventory data provides the public with
information on chemical releases from industrial sources. The raw data
is available at
www.epa.gov/tri-efdr.
