In 2009, 40 facilities reported a total of 3 million
 pounds of toxic chemical releases. Hawaii's total
 reported on-site and off-site releases decreased 9%
 (299 thousand pounds) when compared to 2008
 data.
 What is a Release?
 A TRI "release" is defined as the amount of a toxic
 chemical released on-site (to air, water, underground
 injection, landfills,  and other land disposal), and
 the amount transferred off-site for disposal.

PBT Chemical Releases
Releases of Persistent, Bioaccumulative and Toxic
(PBT) chemicals are in pounds.  Dioxin and dioxin-
like compounds data are in grams, not in Toxicity
Equivalence (TEQ).

In Hawaii, 110 thousand pounds of total (on-site
and  off-site) releases of PBT chemicals were re-
ported. This is an increase of 18 thousand pounds
or 19%. Lead and lead compounds tops the list in
2009. In determining release quantities for metal
compounds, facilities only consider the primary met-
al portion of the compound. For instance, a facility
reportingfor lead compounds only reports the lead
portion of the lead compounds  released.  The PBT
chemicals in the  table are ranked in descending
order by 2009.
