UNITAR - Pollutant Release and Transfer Registers (PRTR) [accessed 2022]
Description:
The web site provides information and guidance on the Pollutant Releases and Transfers Registers. Based on the principle of the public’s right to access environmental information, a Pollutant Release and Transfers Register (PRTR) is a database of releases of potentially harmful chemicals to the environment, which is accessible to civil society. A PRTR provides information about releases to air, water, and land from a broad range of productive activities, such as chemical industry processes, agricultural operations (pesticides run-off), and transportation (emissions), as well as the transfer of waste and wastewater from the point of production to treatment and disposal sites.
