Prioritizing Outreach using RSEI (Risk-Screening Environmental Indicators) including Examples

Описание: Toxic chemicals are legally released by many businesses. Those that exceed specific thresholds report releases under EPA’s Toxic Release Inventory (TRI).

The chemical’s level of toxicity, its fate and transport through the environment and potential human exposure vary by location. EPA developed the RSEI tool to help establish priorities for further investigation.

This webinar will cover some basic information about RSEI and show examples of its usefulness to the SBEAP technical assistance professional.
