EPA Releases Updated 2023 PFAS TRI Data
EPA has released updated Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) data that includes reporting on PFAS. The updated data show that during 2023, facilities managed over 1,563,509 pounds of production-related waste of PFAS, and 61 facilities collectively submitted 168 TRI reporting forms for 46 discrete PFAS. This is the fourth year since PFAS was added to the TRI list of chemicals per the 2020 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) requirements. EPA’s 2023 rule also eliminated the de minimis exemption that allowed facilities to avoid reporting small concentrations of PFAS compounds. Additional reporting on PFAS quantities in waste is anticipated to begin with the 2024 TRI data. For more information, visit EPA’s TRI website, and get data from EPA’s TRI Toolbox.
