Description

The Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) tracks the management of certain toxic chemicals that may pose a threat to human health and the environment. U.S. facilities in different industry sectors report annually how much of each chemical is released to the environment and/or managed through recycling, energy recovery and treatment, and this information is compiled in the TRI database. myRTK is a simple tool designed for mobile devices in English and Spanish. For any location or address, myRTK geographically displays nearby facilities that report to the Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) Program, as well as facilities with EPA air, water or hazardous waste program permits.
