toluene - National Park Service

Soil.Misc. (Other Non-concentration Soil Information):
Release of toluene to land may occur in association with
gasoline spills, leaking underground gasoline storage
tanks, or land disposal of municipal sludges or refinery
wastes [904].
Although, in some cases, releases might be significant
on a local scale, the total amount of toluene released to
the environment in soil is considered to be negligible
[904]. Industrial releases to land reported to the TRI
for 1990 were about 0.27 million pounds; this is 0.16% of
the total environmental release [904]. Another 38
million pounds were transferred to offsite landfills
[904]. The TRI data should be used with caution since
only certain types of facilities are required to report
[904].
