Latest <strong>Environmental</strong> Statistics 2 Emissions of Criteria Air Pollutants: 10,300 tons Releases of Chemicals <strong>Report</strong>ed to TRI: 5.3 million lbs. • Industrial coatings—factory-applied to manufactured goods during production. • Special-purpose coatings—aerosol paints, marine paints, high-performance coatings, and automotive refinish paints. • Allied paint products—putties, paint and varnish removers, paint thinners, pigment dispersions, paint brush cleaners, and frit (ground glass or glaze). Energy Use In 2002, the Paint & Coatings sector purchased about 1.6 billion kilowatt hours of electricity for heat and power, which represented well under 1% of the total quantity of electricity purchased for heat and power by U.S. manufacturers. 4 Data on fossil fuel consumption are not currently available. Air Emissions Air emissions from the sector include criteria air pollutants (CAPs), greenhouse gases (GHGs), and a number of chemicals reported to EPA’s Toxics Release Inventory (TRI). In general, the “toxic chemicals” tracked by TRI are found in the raw materials used as formulation ingredients in the manufacturing process. Air Emissions <strong>Report</strong>ed to TRI air emissions: 4 million lbs. In 2005, 441 facilities in this sector reported 4 million Water Discharges: 9,900 lbs. lbs. of absolute air emissions to TRI. Between 1996 and Waste Disposals: 1.3 million lbs. 2005, absolute TRI-reported air emissions declined by about 57%, as shown in Figure 1a. When normalized by Recycling, Energy Recovery, or the value of shipments VOS over this period, air emissions declined by about the same amount, as seen in Figure Treatment: 116.3 million lbs. 1b. The normalized and absolute data are similar because Hazardous Waste Generated: production remained relatively steady over the period. 146,000 tons To consider toxicity of air emissions, EPA’s Risk-Screening <strong>Environmental</strong> Indicators (RSEI) model assigns every TRI Hazardous Waste Managed: chemical a relative toxicity weight, then multiplies the 148,000 tons pounds of media-specific releases (e.g., pounds of mercury The data discussed in this report are drawn from multiple public and private sources. See the Data Guide and the Data Sources, Methodologies, and Considerations chapter for important information and qualifications about how data are generated, synthesized, and presented. Profile released to air) by a chemical-specific toxicity weight to calculate a relative Toxicity Score. RSEI methodological considerations are discussed in greater detail in the Data Guide, which explains the underlying assumptions and important limitations of RSEI. Data are not reported to TRI in sufficient detail to distinguish which forms of certain chemicals within a chemical category are being emitted. For chemical The Paint & Coatings sector 3 manufactures a variety of categories such as chromium, the toxicity model products that preserve, protect, and beautify the objects to conservatively assumes that chemicals are emitted in the which they are applied. The main types of Paint & Coatings form with the highest toxicity weight (e.g., hexavalent products include: chromium); thus, Toxicity Scores are overestimated for • Architectural coatings—interior and exterior some chemical categories. paints, primers, sealers, and varnishes. Summing the Toxicity Scores for all of the air emissions reported to TRI by the sector produces the trend illustrated <strong>2008</strong> SECTOR PERFORMANCE REPORT Paint & Coatings 91
