2020 TRI Preliminary Dataset

"The 2020 Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) preliminary dataset contains data about chemical releases, waste management and pollution prevention activities that took place during 2020 at more than 21,000 federal and industrial facilities across the country.

The TRI preliminary dataset is available each July through September, giving the public access to the most recent TRI information, prior to finalizing the National Analysis dataset in October. EPA typically publishes the National Analysis report, based on the October dataset, early the following calendar year.

The data are available below. Note that TRI data only reflect submissions received by EPA from facilities that meet TRI reporting requirements. Other facilities in your area may be releasing toxic chemicals but either were not required to report to the TRI Program or have not yet submitted their 2020 data. In addition, a TRI facility may be managing a toxic chemical for which the TRI reporting threshold was not exceeded, resulting in that chemical not being reported to the TRI Program.

Introduction

The 2020 TRI preliminary dataset consists of TRI data for calendar year 2020. Users should note that while these preliminary data have undergone the basic data quality checks included in the online TRI reporting software, they have not undergone the complete TRI data quality process. In addition, EPA does not aggregate or summarize these data, or offer any analysis or interpretation of them."
