EPA Adds Nine PFAS to the Toxics Release Inventory

On Jan. 3, EPA announced the addition of 9 per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances to the list of chemicals covered by the Toxics Release Inventory (TRI). TRI data is reported to EPA annually by industrial and federal facilities that manufacture, process, or otherwise use TRI-listed chemicals above set quantities. Information collected through TRI allows communities to learn how facilities in their area are managing listed chemicals. Reporting is now required for these nine additional PFAS, bringing the total PFAS subject to TRI reporting to 205.
