Taking Stock 2001

North American Pollutant Releases and Transfers

Description

This report is intended to serve as an information source for governments, industry and communities in analyzing such data from a North American perspective and for identifying opportunities for pollution reduction. The analyses are based on 1995–2001 data from the US Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) and the Canadian National Pollutant Release Inventory (NPRI). Results from 2001, trends over the seven years from 1995 to 2001 and from 1998 to 2001 are presented here. As data become available from the Mexican (voluntary for the 2001 reporting year), they will be included in future reports.
