Communities and others have requested that the government release the data earlier.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has made available the Toxics Release Inventory data exactly as it has received it from the generators. The data is not grouped as the traditional Public Data Release, which the EPA will complete in the spring.

The Toxics Release Inventory data provides the public with information on chemical releases from industrial sources. The raw data is available at www.epa.gov/tri-efdr.
