According to the EPA Toxics Release Inventory, Hydrogen Fluoride (CAS 7664-39-3) is disclosed by 763 Form R facilities totaling 58.7M lbs of reported releases. TRI pounds are self-reported disclosure totals, not a measured public-health risk score.
Hydrogen Fluoride (CAS 7664-39-3) 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 SIMPLOT PHOSPHATES LLC in WY at 4.8M 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.

Trend & Where It's Reported
Between 2019 and 2023, cumulative annual Hydrogen Fluoride releases across all reporting facilities decreased by 28% (13.9M lbs → 9.9M lbs). Year-to-year swings reflect facility openings/closures and reporting changes as much as underlying activity.
Reporting for Hydrogen Fluoride is dispersed: Texas accounts for 10.6% of the reported total (70 facilities). Next: Wyoming.
- Texas 6.2M lbs
- Wyoming 5.2M lbs
- Idaho 5.2M lbs
- Missouri 5.1M lbs
- Ohio 4.4M lbs
Reporting for Hydrogen Fluoride is concentrated by industry: Electric Utilities facilities account for 42.3% of the reported total (228 facilities). Next: Chemicals.

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.
