Products
Ways to present PRTR data are listed in the left-hand box and include:
- Records for Individual Facilities and Chemicals: Allow stakeholders to review releases and transfers at facilities of interest.
- Aggregate Summaries: Provide an overview of PRTR data for stakeholders (e.g., national averages, industry totals).
- Raw Data Files / Databases: Allow stakeholders to perform their own analysis of PRTR data.
- Interpretive Reports: Present PRTR data with explanatory text and contextual information to help stakeholders understand data.
- Fact Sheets: Present details on a topic of interest to stakeholders (e.g., a community, and industry, etc.)
- Exports for Integration with other PRTRs: Allow stakeholders to use PRTR data in international and global scale analyses.
For a cost-effective management scheme, you may wish to implement the next sub-element (Records for Individual Facilities and Chemicals) or choose another element from the Management scheme elements list.
