TRI Data and Tools
The TRI Program tracks the management of toxic chemicals that may pose a threat to human health and the environment. Facilities in certain industry sectors report annually the volume of toxic chemicals managed as waste--recycled, treated or burned for energy recovery--as well as disposed of or otherwise released into the environment.
The complete 2017 TRI dataset is now available in TRI Explorer, the TRI P2 Search Tool, in the Envirofacts TRI searches, and in the downloadable TRI data files.
TRI National Analysis website: An annual snapshot of TRI data. Maps, charts, and tables highlight national-level data, while factsheets detail specific geographic areas.
TRI Pollution Prevention (P2) Tool: Explore and compare facility and parent company information on the management of toxic chemicals.
myRTK: Find summary-level facility information, including chemical releases, pollution prevention activities, and compliance history. Provided in English and Spanish.
TRI Explorer: Access the most commonly requested TRI information. Search by chemical or facility releases, waste management, or waste transfers.
Envirofacts: Find all publicly available TRI data in a searchable, downloadable format. Multiple search options available.
RSEI: The Risk-Screening Environmental Indicators (RSEI) model is a screening-level tool that produces potential relative risk scores that can be compared for different locations. These scores can help establish priorities for further investigation.More Information to Help You Use TRI Data
