The following data comes from the Environmental Protection Agency’s Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) for Hydrogen Fluoride releases. Hydrogen Fluoride is the dominant source for levels of fluoride entering the U.S. environment according to TRI. These releases pollute our bodies, air, water, and soil. It’s important to emphasize, especially at the community level, that not all industries or sources that release fluoride into the environment are included in the TRI.
About the Table below:
- Pounds released: These are the On- and Off-site releases as reported by TRI. This amount does not include quantities of the toxic chemical that were the result of a catastrophic event, remedial action or other, one-time event not associated with production. It also does not include the wastes generated and disposed off-site to incineration and other methods of disposal (and exposure).
- Note: The quantities listed below change as TRI frequently updates its data. However, the changes are generally not significant.
