Toxic Release Inventory reporting system
Encyclopedia : T : TO : TOX : Toxic Release Inventory reporting system
The Toxics Release Inventory reporting system is an EPA regulation governing the reporting standards for companies who dump waste considered toxic into the environment.
Proposed changes in late 2005 would lower the reporting standards for TRI. Several state attorney generals wrote the EPA asking that the standard not be altered. This move came under fire from Eliot Spitzer who said ""Public disclosure has proven to be a strong incentive for polluters to reduce their use of toxic chemicals,this move by EPA appears to be yet another poorly considered notion to appease a few polluting constituents at the expense of a valuable program."
