Ethylenebisdithiocarbamic Acid, Salts and Esters (EPA TRI Category Code N171) is a chemical tracked by the EPA Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) program under Section 313 of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act. The TRI requires industrial facilities above specified threshold quantities to disclose annual manufacturing, processing, and otherwise-used volumes, along with quantities released to air, water, land, and off-site transfers.

A carcinogen flag, when present on other chemicals in this database, reflects an assessment from EPA, IARC, or the National Toxicology Program rather than a TRI-specific determination. The largest individual disclosure in the current dataset comes from NOURYON SURFACE CHEMISTRY LLC in TN at 334 lbs.

TRI volumes are self-reported estimates, not measured stack emissions, and each pound counts equally regardless of chemical toxicity, so total pounds should not be equated with total risk. Inclusion of a chemical or facility in the TRI does not itself establish a health hazard; it documents the public right-to-know record. Consult EPA's IRIS (Integrated Risk Information System) and the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry for health-effect summaries.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Ethylenebisdithiocarbamic Acid, Salts and Esters in the EPA TRI? ▼
Ethylenebisdithiocarbamic Acid, Salts and Esters (EPA TRI Category Code: N171) is a chemical tracked by the EPA Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) program. It is not marked as a carcinogen in the TRI classification set. 6 facilities in the United States report releasing this chemical to the EPA.
How much Ethylenebisdithiocarbamic Acid, Salts and Esters is disclosed in U.S. TRI filings? ▼
U.S. facilities have reported a total of 352 lbs of Ethylenebisdithiocarbamic Acid, Salts and Esters releases to the EPA Toxic Release Inventory across 6 facilities. Release quantities are self-reported estimates covering air, water, land, and off-site transfers. They are disclosure totals, not toxicity-weighted harm scores.
How does EPA TRI classify Ethylenebisdithiocarbamic Acid, Salts and Esters? ▼
Ethylenebisdithiocarbamic Acid, Salts and Esters is not marked as a carcinogen in the TRI classification set. TRI classification flags document inventory listing status; they are not a site-specific exposure or health diagnosis. For health-effect summaries see EPA IRIS and ATSDR toxicological profiles.
Which facilities disclose the most Ethylenebisdithiocarbamic Acid, Salts and Esters? ▼
Nouryon Surface Chemistry LLC in TN reports the largest disclosed release of Ethylenebisdithiocarbamic Acid, Salts and Esters in this dataset, at 334 lbs. Most reporting facilities for this chemical fall under chemicals. Release data is self-reported annually to the EPA under the TRI program. View the full list of 6 facilities on this page.
Why is Ethylenebisdithiocarbamic Acid, Salts and Esters listed under code N171 instead of a CAS number? ▼
N171 is an EPA TRI Category Code, not a CAS Registry Number. EPA assigns category codes (N-prefix and K-prefix) to chemical groups that share reporting requirements, for example, "Ethylenebisdithiocarbamic Acid, Salts and Esters" covers many distinct compounds aggregated for TRI reporting. Individual constituents may have their own CAS Registry Numbers (e.g., elemental Lead is CAS 7439-92-1), but the group is reported under the single TRI Category Code.

Health Information

Data comes from the EPA Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) program. Release quantities are self-reported by facilities and may represent estimates. The total shown aggregates reports across all facilities and reporting years.

PlainEnviro presents this data without advocacy framing. The presence of a chemical in the TRI database does not by itself indicate a health risk at current exposure levels. For health-related questions about specific chemical exposures, consult your local health agency or a toxicologist.
