[CPEO-MEF] Defense Department Toxics Release Data

[Lenny Siegel <lsiegel@cpeo.org>]

In response to a request this week, I tracked down the Defense
Department's latest report on its Toxics Release Inventory data. It's
available on the Web at 
http://www.denix.osd.mil/denix/Public/News/OSD/EQ98/eq5a.html##ch8.

The most recent data in the report is for fiscal year 1997. Fiscal year
1998 data has been collected, but it has not yet been validated. It
should be available early next year.

I have not read the report, but it shows that total Defense Department
toxic releases represent a small fraction of the national (industry,
etc.) total. The report highlights the Department's successful pollution
prevention efforts.
