Right-To-Know Network Makes 1996 Toxics Release
Inventory Data Available On Internet

You can now use the Web to access data collected by the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) through the Toxic Release Inventory (TRI). The
data is available at no charge to the public through the Right-To-Know
Network (RTK-NET).

The TRI was created by the EPA under mandate from the Community Right to
Know Act of 1996. It provides public access to information about
chemical releases in communities in the U.S. You can use the database
and identify chemical releases by specific chemical, industry,
individual facility (now including military bases), or geographic
location.

For more information, visit RTK-NET's Web site at <www.rtk.net> or
contact the their Help Desk at (202) 234-8494.
