	EPA TRI: 2003 TRI Data Release
		The Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) is a database containing detailed information on nearly 650 chemicals and chemical categories that over 23,000 industrial and federal facilities manage through disposal or other releases, and waste management for recycling, energy recovery, or treatment.
		Release estimates alone are not sufficient to determine exposure or to calculate potential adverse risks to human health and the environment.
		TRI data, in conjunction with other information, such as the toxicity of the chemical, the release medium, and site-specific conditions, can be used as a starting point in evaluating exposures that may result from releases of toxic chemicals.

	The U.S. Toxics Release Inventory (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		The Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) collects information about chemical releases and waste management reported by major industrial facilities in the U.S. The TRI database was established by Section 313 of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-To-Know Act of 1986.
		Covered facilities must disclose their releases of approximately 650 toxic chemicals to air, water, and land, as well as the quantities of chemicals they recycle, treat, burn, or otherwise dispose of on-site and off-site.
		The specific types of environmental releases, transfers and waste generation reported to TRI are explained by Scorecard's Definitions of Toxics Release Inventory Reporting Categories.

	TOXMAP - Frequently Asked Questions
		The toxicity of a substance depends on many factors: the form and chemical activity; the dosage, especially the dose-time relationship; exposure route; species; age; sex; ability of the chemical to be absorbed; metabolism; distribution within the body; excretion; and the presence of other chemicals.
		Federal law requires certain industrial facilities which manufacture, process, or otherwise use particular toxic chemicals in amounts exceeding specific threshold values, to report annually on their releases of these chemicals to the environment or transferred off-site to be processed as waste.
		The "trend," or "chemical release amount change" for a given facility and chemical, is calculated by comparing the total environmental release amount for the most recent year of TRI data in TOXMAP to the average of all previous years.

	Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) Program
		The Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) is a publicly available EPA database that contains information on toxic chemical releases and other waste management activities reported annually by certain covered industry groups as well as federal facilities.
		Some data quality checks have been completed for the forms released under the e-FDR, although facilities are still verifying their submissions and may revise their data prior to the release of the data in the spring Public Data Release.

	The Toxics Release Inventory (TRI)
		As a result, companies such as Dow must report their releases or emissions of dioxin to the EPA by July 1, each year.
		Under the TRI rules, manufacturing facilities must report annual releases of dioxins and dioxin-like compounds to the environment if they are created, processed or otherwise used in amounts of 0.1 grams (0.0035 ounces) per year or more.
		Since the conversion from mass to TEQ is dependent on the relative concentration of the different dioxin-like compounds, the changes from year to year may vary according to the reporting method.

	The Right-To-Know Network
		The Right-to-Know Network (RTK NET) published the 2005 Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) data on March 23, 2007, providing public access to important U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) data on the release and transfer of toxic chemicals in the United States.
		This is EPAs earliest release of the annual TRI data in the history of the program.
		RTK NET allows the public to search the data, enabling them to learn about the toxic chemicals in their local communities, states, regions, and the entire nation.

	WGCRTK - industrial toxics
		Under right-to-know laws, industrial facilities report using and releasing billions of pounds of toxic chemicals.
		Year-to-year reductions in TRI-reported releases generally indicate that a company is releasing less pollution.
		This fact sheet compares flawed procedures under the Toxic Substances Control Act to effective procedures used under the Toxics Release Inventory.

	EWG Tap Water Quality Database \| Environmental Working Group
		By failing to clean up rivers and reservoirs that provide drinking water for hundreds of millions of Americans, EPA and the Congress have forced water utilities to decontaminate water that is polluted with industrial chemicals, factory farm waste, sewage, pesticides, fertilizer, and sediment.
		In its most recent national Water Quality Inventory EPA found that 45 percent of lakes and 39 percent of streams and rivers are "impaired" — unsafe for drinking, fishing, or even swimming, in some cases (EPA 2000).
		Scientists and policymakers have long known that pollution to drinking water sources can be reduced through two key means: preventing (or reducing) the release in the first place, or maintaining a buffer of protected lands around the water source that can, in essence, reduce or slow down the pollutant load.

	Assessing Your Health: ToxicityTest
		After living for thousands and thousands of years in chemical balance, mankind in the last 100 years has literally changed the chemistry of our environment through the progressive poisoning of nature with the chemical by-products of modern agriculture, industry, power generation, and transportation.
		With the number of bacteria in the colon being estimated at 10,000,000,000 per gram of fecal material, it is suggested that we have' a greater number of bacteria than we have human cells.
		These bacteria release by-products, some of which have healthful effects, while others can be toxic.
