This dataset contains the basic facility identification information for all Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) facilities, in Florida, for Reporting Year 2016. The Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) is a database containing detailed information on nearly 650 chemicals and chemical categories that industrial and federal facilities manage through disposal or other releases, and waste management for recycling, energy recovery, or treatment. The file lists the last reporting year the Facility submitted an active and valid data to the TRI program. 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 must report annually how much of each chemical is released to the environment and/or managed through recycling, energy recovery and treatment. (A "release" of a chemical means that it is emitted to the air or water, or placed in some type of land disposal.) The information submitted by facilities is compiled in the Toxics Release Inventory. TRI helps support informed decision-making by industry, government, non-governmental organizations and the public. |
