Release Profiles: Air, Water, Land, and Beyond

Every TRI Form R tells a story about how chemicals move through a facility. Release profiles capture this story by breaking out emissions to air, discharges to water, releases to land, and transfers for waste management. Each pathway has its own data sources and calculation methods — from stack testing and emission factors to wastewater sampling and waste shipment records. Understanding your facility’s release profile helps identify where emissions occur and where improvements are possible. It also ensures consistency from year to year. A clear, accurate release profile is more than a reporting requirement; it’s a roadmap for environmental performance.

How TRI Toolkit Helps:

TRI Toolkit builds and stores your facility’s release profiles so you don’t have to recreate them every year. Once your air, water, and land pathways are set up, the system auto‑populates calculations using your facility’s established methods — whether that’s emission factors, monitoring data, or mass‑balance approaches. It also highlights year‑to‑year changes, helping you quickly spot anomalies or confirm consistency. The result is a cleaner, more reliable Form R with far less manual effort.
