How Are You Using the TRI?

The Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) Program wants to know how you're using the TRI data and EPA's Risk-Screening Environmental Indicators (RSEI) model results! We’re collecting data use summaries for potential inclusion in the new 'Catalog of Applied TRI Data Uses' and/or to feature on the TRI Data in Action webpage. 

Please send us these details about how you or your organization have used TRI and/or RSEI data:

An example of a project submission:

  • Project title: Establishing Industry Partnerships to Reduce Local Air Pollution
  • Organization and author names: Southeast Como Improvement Association
  • Project summary: Concerned about local air pollution, residents of the Southeast Como neighborhood near Minneapolis, Minnesota, used TRI data to identify nearby industrial facilities with the largest air emissions. The group approached three of these facilities and established good neighbor agreements in which the parties committed to working together to find ways to reduce air emissions. The work done under these agreements earned the facilities and community group the Minnesota Governor's Award for Pollution Prevention.
