North American Pollutant Release and Transfer Register
Did you know that every year, industrial facilities in North America must report the quantity of pollutants they release to the air?
This map shows that reported pollutants decreased from 456M kg to 386M kg (2014-2018). The Commission for Environmental Cooperation’s North American Pollutant Release and Transfer Register (PRTR) Initiative promotes public access to data and information reported by industrial facilities in Canada, Mexico, and the United States.
This is to improve the understanding of the sources and management of pollutants of common concern across the region and support decision-making relative to pollution prevention and reduction.
