in Figure 1c. The sector’s total Toxicity Score, normalized by value of shipments, declined by more than 80% from 1996 to 2005. 5 The TRI list of toxic chemicals includes all but six of the hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) regulated under the Clean Air Act. In absolute pounds, HAPs accounted for most (90%) of the sector’s pounds of air emissions reported to TRI in 2005; therefore, trends in HAP emissions showed very similar declines to the trends in air emissions for all TRI chemicals when based on either pounds reported or the Toxicity Scores. 6 Table 1 presents the top TRI-reported chemicals emitted to air by the sector based on three indicators. Each indicator provides data that environmental managers, trade associations, or government agencies might use in considering sector-based environmental management strategies. 1) Absolute Pounds Reported. Xylene and toluene, organic solvents used as carriers in paints, were the highest-ranking chemicals based on the pounds of each chemical emitted to air in 2005.
