Explanatory notes: - Toxic score: Quantity of air releases and incineration transfers reported in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Toxics Release Inventory for the year 2005, adjusted for dispersion through the environment, toxicity of chemicals and number of people impacted. Adjustments are from the EPA's Risk-Screening Environmental Indicators project. For details, see the technical notes.
- Quantity of toxic air releases and incineration transfers: Millions of pounds of toxic chemicals released to the air on-site at each TRI facility or transferred off-site for incineration, without weighting for toxicity or population.
- Coverage: This table presents the highest toxic scores for corporations that appear on certain Fortune, Forbes, and/or Standard & Poor's top company lists in the year 2007. Individual facilities are assigned to corporate parents on the basis of the most current information on the ownership structure.
