Factors to Consider When Using Toxic Release Inventory Data
This online engineering PDH course provides a comprehensive overview of the Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) data, focusing on its significance, application, and the critical factors to consider when analyzing this data.
This course highlights the role of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in compiling and disseminating TRI data, which encompasses information about toxic chemicals managed by various facilities in the United States. It explores the data collection processes, the types of chemicals reported, and the regulatory framework governing these releases. This course delves into key factors that impact the interpretation of TRI data, such as the toxicity of chemicals, the routes of exposure, and the context of environmental regulations. It explores methodologies for analyzing releases, understanding waste management practices, and assessing potential risks associated with toxic chemicals in communities. By engaging with real-world examples and case studies, the course shows how TRI data can inform industry practices, regulatory measures, and public health considerations.
This 1 PDH online course is applicable to chemical and environmental engineers, as well as other technical professionals interested in learning more about factors to consider when using toxic release inventory data.
