Source: US EPA and Corporate Toxics Information Project (CTIP). Quantity of toxic air releases and incineration transfers: Millions of pounds of toxic chemicals released to the air on-site or transferred off-site for incineration in the TRI 2006 Reporting Year, without adjustment for toxicity or population exposure. Source: US EPA. Environmental Justice (EJ): Poor Share and Minority Share: Shares of the total population health risk borne by people living below the poverty line or by people in minority racial/ethnic groups. In the U.S. population, 12.9 percent live below the poverty line and 31.8 percent are members of minority racial/ethnic groups. Sources: US EPA, US Census 2000, and CTIP.
