Reporting thresholds

Thresholds determine 1) the size of facilities that must report to a PRTR (e.g. facilities in the U.S. do not report if they have under 10 full-time equivalent employees), and 2) which chemicals they report (e.g. a facility might be required to a report a chemical if it released the chemical in quantities above the release threshold for that chemical). There are many considerations for determining reporting thresholds (e.g. setting threshold criteria, costs and benefits of thresholds, harmonising thresholds with other national reporting requirements, etc.) and further guidance on these considerations can be found in the references below.
