❓ FAQ

🌿 What is the EPA Toxic Release Inventory? The TRI is a program where U.S. industrial facilities report the amounts of toxic chemicals they release into the environment each year. It covers thousands of facilities across all 50 states.

📋 What's the difference between the three datasets? "Facilities" gives you location, contact, and corporate ownership data. "Releases" provides toxic chemical quantities reported. "Programs" shows which EPA regulatory programs each facility participates in.

🗺️ Can I filter by city or ZIP code? Currently, filtering is available by state. You can download state-level data and filter by city or ZIP in your spreadsheet or application.

⏱️ How long does a run take? About 100 records per second. A full state dataset of several thousand facilities typically completes in under a minute.
