Toxic Chemical Releases in Newark, NJ
It's Your Right to Know!
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
requires certain industrial facilities across the country
to report annually about the toxic chemicals they
release* and what they're doing to prevent or reduce
pollution. EPA's Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) tracks
chemicals that may pose a threat to human health and
the environment. Possible health impacts depend on
many factors, including the toxicity of the chemical,
and the amount and duration of exposure. You can
find a lot of information about facilities in Newark that
report releases to TRI, but TRI doesn't track all sources
of pollution. To learn more about TRI - what it can and
can't tell you — visit:

*A "release" is an emission or discharge to the air, water, and/or land.
Note: Many of the releases from TRI reporting facilities are regulated
under various EPA programs and requirements designed to protect
people's health and the environment.
