In the Where You Live tool, you can view TRI information by state, tribe, metropolitan area, and watershed. You can also view TRI facility locations along with demographic characteristics of the surrounding communities. Choose the “Community Profile” option to see community demographics using EPA’s demographic index or supplemental demographic index. Use the “Data to Display” dropdown to select the metric to display. Use the Search bar to generate a fact sheet about an area of interest.
In addition to viewing maps based on release quantities, you can view maps based on risk-screening environmental indicator score (RSEI Score) which is an indicator of relative potential risks to human health following exposure to TRI chemical releases. RSEI Scores are generated by EPA's Risk-Screening Environmental Indicators (RSEI) model to allow you to compare the relative potential for impacts to human health across various locations. For more on RSEI, see the Potential Risks from TRI Chemicals section.
As with any dataset, there are many factors to consider when using TRI data. Find a summary of key factors associated with the data used in the National Analysis in the Introduction. For more information see Factors to Consider When Using Toxics Release Inventory Data.
This page was published in March 2024 and uses the 2022 TRI National Analysis dataset made public in TRI Explorer in October 2023.
