* The default is "All Releases and Transfers." For details about specific releases or transfers, check the pertinent boxes. For air and water releases, check the "TEP values" box to see the risk scores available for certain pollutants.

Specify a year or range of years

The year or range of years that you select will affect which pollutants are included in your search. For instance, the NPRI and TRI lists of reportable pollutants have changed since 1998 (generally, pollutants have been added). Also, the industrial sectors subject to PRTR reporting in each country have changed over the years, which impacts which facilities reported and which pollutants were reported over time.

Specify the country or countries

You can select all three countries, or just one or two, from the drop-down list provided. Your report results will present data for the country(ies) specified.

Specify the state(s), province(s) or territory(ies)

One or more states/provinces/territories can be selected from the drop-down list provided. Your results will display data for the region(s) specified.

Specify the PRTR Program Filter(s)

This tool filters your search by the pollutants reported to the selected PRTR program (for the specified year/years). By selecting "all", your search will include data for any of the pollutants reported to any of the three PRTR programs. Selecting "NPRI" will filter your search by those pollutants reported to NPRI (thus, any pollutant reportable only to TRI or RETC, but not NPRI, will be excluded from your results).

Specify one or more pollutant type

You can search the database for specific categories of substances, such as known or suspected carcinogens, or developmental or reproductive toxicants. These substances are listed by California's Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (the "California Proposition 65" list) or by the World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC).

On the results pages, known or suspected carcinogens are represented by a "C" and developmental or reproductive toxicants are represented by a "P". You can also search the database for releases and transfers of metals and their compounds, represented by an "M".

For air and water releases of known or suspected carcinogens and developmental and reproductive toxicants, you can click on the Toxic Equivalency Potential (TEP) button to rank pollutants according to the TEP chemical ranking system, developed by scientists at the University of California at Berkeley.

Specify the Industry Sector(s)

You can select one or more industry sectors from the drop-down list provided. Your report results will present data for the industry (ies) selected.
