The Environmental Protection Agency's Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) is a database that provides information to the public about toxic chemical releases from manufacturing facilities to the environment through the air, water, and land.
As a part of the community-right-to-know movement, the goal of TRI is to empower communities with this information and to support informed decision-making in industry, government, non-governmental organizations and the general public. TRI data can be used at a national, regional, state or local level. Beyond tracking releases, the inventory includes information about what facilities are doing to reduce releases through pollution prevention activities, and how facilities manage toxic chemicals through recycling, energy recovery and treatment.
EPA produces an annual report called the TRI National Analysis that includes EPA’s analysis and interpretation of this rich database, but any member of the public can conduct his or her own analysis using the publicly-available TRI data and EPA-developed analysis tools.

It is called, "Be a voice" and it gives you the opportunity to tell us what you'd like to experience at the AEC. Tell us topics you'd like to hear about and speakers you'd like to see. Review abstracts and provide input.
Help NEHA develop a training and education experience that continues to advance the proficiency of the environmental health profession AND helps create bottom line improvements for your organization!To search for specific abstracts, please use the search box located at the top left of the page (*next to the Blogger icon).
