TRI Early Data Sharing

EPA has adopted a new strategy to provide the public with quicker access to the Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) data. The data sets provided below are only preliminary, but some may want to use them for study and analysis. EPA encourages this use but also cautions users to review and understand the limitations of the data. The Agency will release the data incrementally as they are processed through the reporting system, and updates will be posted on this page.

  • What data are included?
  • What data are not included and why?
  • How often will the data be updated?
  • What is known about the quality of the data?
  • How does the process of releasing the 2008 TRI data compare to the process of releasing the data in previous years?
  • Why did EPA change the phrase “State Data File”?

    The 2008 preliminary TRI data are provided today in three ways:
    1. Facility Locator Tool : You can find facility-specific information on releases of toxic chemicals in your community. All you need is a zip code or parts of an address to access the most recent information on chemical releases from individual industrial facilities in that community.
    1. Basic Data : Single downloadable files containing approximately 100 of the most commonly requested data fields.
    1. Basic Plus Data : Sets of seven downloadable files containing (in aggregate) all data submitted to EPA by facilities.
