The record / Toxic releases
The Toxics Release Inventory, 2024
Facilities handling listed chemicals above thresholds must report their releases to air, water and land every year. The inventory is self-reported and lawful release is not a violation; what it gives you is the map of who releases what, where. County pages list the facilities themselves.
