EPA Releases The 2009 TRI Preliminary Dataset

 
"Last year, in the interest of promoting transparency and collaboration, EPA took the unprecedented step of releasing toxic chemical data to the public in mid-August, less than two months after the July 1st reporting deadline and before completing its own data analyses. This year, EPA is making the data available even sooner and is providing the data in downloadable data files, as well as in TRI Explorer (with limited analytical capabilities) and Envirofacts. The 2009 TRI preliminary dataset {http://www.epa.gov/tri/tridata/preliminarydataset/index.html} will be updated in August and September as more of the 2009 TRI facility submissions are processed. EPA encourages data users to read the Questions and Answers {http://www.epa.gov/tri/tridata/preliminarydataset/qa/index.html} about the 2009 TRI preliminary dataset to understand the limitations of using and analyzing the data before the dataset is complete."
