| Abstract |
Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) data are used in myriad ways. There are many uses of the TRI data that the authors of the legislation (the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to Know Act) mandating the TRI envisioned and many that they did not foresee. The Pollution Prevention Act of 1990 increased the types of data required to be reported to the TRI, which expanded the potential uses of the TRI. The combination of the types of data collected under TRI and the fact that they are made available to the public under EPCRA 313 makes TRI a powerful tool for many environmental analyses and understanding the many factors that contribute to human health and environmental conditions. The intent of this report is to provide the reader with an overview of the different ways in which the TRI data are used, and as such does not include a description of all programs, activities, and analyses that use the TRI data. The case studies that are presented in this report were gathered through literature searches and phone interviews. EPA does not support or condone any of the uses of the TRI data presented here; nor does it endorse any of the organizations that are discussed in the case studies. |
