Toxics release inventory: Public release data, 1991
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:6037564
The 1991 reporting year marks the fifth year of the Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) program. According to the data, reported releases and transfers of listed toxic chemicals have declined for the fourth straight year. Included in the 1991 data for the first time is extensive additional waste management and pollution prevention data required by the Pollution Prevention Act of 1990. The new data provide a much more complete picture of waste generation and management than has ever before been available in TRI, covering not just releases and off-site treatment and disposal, but also recycling, energy recovery, on-site treatment, and source reduction activities. Because so many additional types of waste management activities are now reportable under TRI, the amount of toxic chemicals reported to TRI has increased greatly. The new TRI reports contain information about nearly 38 billion pounds of toxic chemicals managed or released by industry in 1991.
