Abstract

The Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) is annually prepared by the Environmental Protection Agency. It reports the volumes of toxic chemical wastes released and transferred offsite by manufacturing facilities in Texas and elsewhere in the nation. The purpose of this document is to describe the progress that has occurred in the management of toxic chemical wastes among Texas manufacturers who report to the TRI. This document overvies the status of these releases and transfers statewide by county, industry, and toxic waste chemical. It also describes release and transfer trends from 1988 to 1994 for a standardized group of toxic chemicals.
