More than 650 toxic chemicals are tracked in the Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) database reported annually by covered industry groups and federal facilities. This subset from the EPA Facility Registry Service (FRS) provides location and identification information for facilities linked to TRI, integrating data from EPA systems, federal agencies, and state records. The FRS database uses verification procedures to provide a centrally managed source of facility information.
Use Cases
