Hazard Information on Toxic Chemicals Added to EPCRA Section 313 Under Chemical Expansion
This page provides summary hazard information on the 286 chemicals that were added to the Toxics Release Inventory in 1994.
Section 313 of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986 (EPCRA) requires certain facilities manufacturing, processing or otherwise using listed chemicals to report their environmental releases of such chemicals annually. The list of reportable chemicals, known as the EPCRA section 313 list and also referred to as the Toxics Release Inventory, or TRI list, was originally identified in the statute and was comprised of more than 300 individual chemicals and 20 chemical categories. In November 1994, EPA issued a rule which added 286 new chemicals and chemical categories to the EPCRA section 313 list. These chemicals were added to the list based on the statutory criteria in EPCRA section 313(d)(2): in short, acute human health risks, cancer or chronic (non-cancer) human health effects, and/or environmental effects.
