The Actor is free to use, and you only pay for the Apify platform usage, which gets cheaper the higher subscription plan you have.

They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ![Chris The Dev](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/chriswakefield87/appstore-screenshot-translator/main/assets/actor-banner.png) ## EPA Toxic Release Inventory Normalizer Search, normalize, and enrich U.S. EPA Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) data. Get detailed facility reports, chemical release estimates, PFAS and carcinogen flags, and parent company mapping — all from the official EPA Envirofacts API. ### What This Actor Does - **Facility Search** — Find TRI-reporting facilities by name, company, or location - **Chemical Search** — Look up chemicals by name or CAS number and find reporting facilities - **Normalization** — Clean facility names, parent company deduplication, chemical name standardization - **Release Estimates** — Map EPA range codes to estimated poundage for each release medium - **ESG Flags** — Automatically flag PFAS ("forever chemicals") and known/suspected carcinogens - **Enriched Output** — Combines facility metadata, chemical data, and release quantities into structured JSON ### Input Parameters | Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description | |---|---|---|---|---| | `searchQuery` | string | ✅ Yes | — | Facility name, company, chemical, or CAS number | | `searchType` | select | No | `combined` | `facility`, `chemical`, or `combined` | | `state` | string | No | — | Two-letter state abbreviation (e.g., `TX`, `CA`) | | `reportingYear` | string | No | — | Reporting year (e.g., `2022`). Leave empty for latest | | `maxResults` | integer | No | `20` | Max results (1–100) | | `flagPfas` | boolean | No | `true` | Highlight PFAS chemicals | | `flagCarcinogens` | boolean | No | `true` | Highlight carcinogens | ### Example Input ```json { "searchQuery": "Exxon", "searchType": "combined", "state": "TX", "reportingYear": "2022", "maxResults": 10, "flagPfas": true, "flagCarcinogens": true } ```` ### Example Output ```json { "facilityId": "77505XXNCH2400D", "facilityName": "EXXON CHEMICAL AMERICAS", "parentCompany": "EXXON MOBIL", "city": "Baytown", "state": "TX", "county": "Harris", "totalReleasesLbs": 125000.0, "pfasFlagged": false, "carcinogenFlagged": true, "chemicals": [ { "chemicalName": "Benzene", "casNumber": "71-43-2", "pfas": false, "carcinogen": true, "releases": [ { "medium": "Air (Fugitive)", "estimatedLbs": 5000 }, { "medium": "Air (Stack)", "estimatedLbs": 120000 } ] } ] } ``` ### Use Cases - **ESG & Sustainability Reporting** — Assess facility-level environmental impact - **Environmental Compliance** — Track toxic chemical releases by company and location - **Community Advocacy** — Identify polluters near residential areas - **Supply Chain Risk** — Screen suppliers for TRI-reporting facilities - **Investment Research** — Evaluate environmental risk exposure for portfolio companies - **Journalism** — Investigate industrial pollution patterns ### Data Source U.S. Environmental Protection Agency — Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) Program\ **API**: https://data.epa.gov/efservice (Envirofacts)\ **License**: Public domain (U.S. government data)\ **Update Frequency**: Annual (TRI reports submitted by July 1 each year) ### Pricing Pay-per-event: $2.00 per 1,000 results (value-add with normalization, dedup, and ESG flags). *** Built by [Chris The Dev](https://apify.com/wakey7dev) # Actor input Schema ## `searchQuery` (type: `string`): Facility name, company name, chemical name, or location to search for.
