Data sources: EPA Toxics Release Inventory (TRI), Safe Drinking Water Information System (SDWIS), and National Priorities List (Superfund). Teal marks the lower reported figure and amber the higher figure for that row. Neither is an environmental-performance rating.

According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, every figure on this page is computed from PlainEnviro's database of more than 25,000 TRI-reporting facilities, 49,190 public water systems and 1,839 Superfund National Priorities List sites; toxic-release totals cover the 2023 TRI reporting year, while drinking-water violation records run through 2025. No state is scored, rated or recommended here, the two columns simply place each state's reported figures side by side; see our methodology for full source citations and refresh cadence.
