Dioxin Data from Major Chlorine Producers and Users
Under Section 313 of the Emergency Planning
and Community-Right-to-know Act, facilities that manufacture,
process, or otherwise use certain toxic materials are required
to report amounts of emissions of these materials to air,
water and land if they exceed established activity thresholds.
Reported amounts are compiled in the Toxics Release Inventory
(TRI). The TRI also requires facilities to report their pollution-prevention
and recycling data. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
compiles TRI data each year, publishes an annual report, and
makes the data available to the public via the Internet.
PCDD/Fs are a category of compounds that were
added to the TRI in 2000. Industries are now required to report
PCDD/F emissions, pollution-prevention, and recycling data.
This web site presents PCDD/F data submitted
by major industrial producers and users of chlorine. Data
on this website are representative of PCDD/F releases for
greater than 90% of chlorine and greater than 100% of vinyl
chloride US production and over 75% of other chemical uses
of chlorine. It provides data on PCDD/F releases, treatment,
disposal and transfer activities. PCDD/F data, in numerical
form, are reported in the links below using two types of units:
(1) TEQ, denoting
"Toxic Equivalent," a quantitative measure of the combined
toxicity of a mixture of dioxin-like chemicals, and (2) TM-17,
denoting "Total Mass of 17 different types of dioxin family
compounds of concern."
