On March 23, 2007, EPA released the 2005 Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) data. Created under the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) of 1986, the TRI program requires certain facilities to report annually on their chemical releases and other waste management activities to EPA and the states. In addition, the Pollution Prevention Act of 1990 mandates collection of data from these facilities on certain chemicals treated on-site, recycled, and combusted for energy recovery. According to EPA, close to 95 percent of facilities submitted reports electronically. Approximately 23,500 facilities reported on almost 650 toxic chemicals for 2005. Analyses are available on EPA's website that provide context for understanding the full picture presented by the 2005 data. The data released at a national level on March 23, 2007, were released on a facility-specific basis last September. A summary of the 2005 TRI data and background materials are available on the Internet at www.epa.gov/tri.
