What guidance should the user be aware of when using TRI data?
TRI data, in conjunction with other information can be used as a starting point in evaluating exposures that may result from releases and other waste management activities that involve toxic chemicals. TRI data, whether made available through the e-FDR or PDR, have certain limitations. TRI data reflect releases and other waste management quantities of chemicals, not exposures of the public to those chemicals. The TRI does not cover all sources of releases and other waste management activities for toxic chemicals such as car emissions, for example. The TRI does not cover all toxic chemicals or industry sectors. TRI data alone are not sufficient to determine exposure or to calculate potential adverse effects on human health and the environment. For additional information and assistance in using and interpreting TRI data, please refer to Factors to Consider When Using TRI Data (29 pp, 196KB, About PDF).
