Gannet Biochem: how the 3.4K lbs splits
3.4K lbs across all reported pathways
- Air Releases 3.4K lbs 100.0%
- Off-site Transfers 0 lbs <0.1%
Gannet Biochem's 3.4K lbs Form-R total is AIR - air releases is 100.0% of the bar. Next segment: off-site transfers at <0.1%. Leading chemical by pounds: Dichloromethane.
Carcinogen-classified pounds vs other reported pounds
Same cumulative TRI total as above, split by EPA/IARC carcinogen classification on each chemical: pounds share, not chemical count. Classification is not a site health-risk score.
LIGHT volume AIR pathway CARC-HEAVY
Gannet Biochem is an EPA Toxics Release Inventory reporter in Huntsville, AL, in the chemicals sector. It reported 581 lbs of releases across 2 chemicals in 2023, and 3.4K lbs in total across its 2019-2023 reporting years. That ranks 11,903 of 25,986 TRI facilities nationwide by cumulative reported pounds, counting each facility over however many years it has filed. In Alabama's 559 reporting TRI sites, Chemical Waste Management leads both reported pounds (95.6M lbs) and chemical count (98 chemicals). The two rankings do not invert in this pool. Reported volume fell against 2022. Pounds reported are not a measure of toxicity or health risk. Nearest other TRI reporters: Tintronics Industries; Benchmark Electronics Huntsville Inc; Hart & Cooley LLC; Ppg Industries Inc.. Similar-scale Chemicals peers outside Alabama: Sti Polymer Inc; Agroliquid - Williams; Kw Plastics of California; Axalta Coating Systems USA LLC. Largest disclosed chemicals by pounds: Dichloromethane; Acetonitrile; Methyl tert-butyl ether.
Gannet Biochem stamps LIGHT volume with a dominant AIR pathway (100.0% air releases) across 3 chemicals · 1 carcinogen-classified. Cumulative Form-R extract: 3.4K lbs (2019–2023). All figures are self-reported EPCRA §313 estimates, not measured stack emissions or a health-risk score. Scale peers include Sti Polymer Inc and Agroliquid - Williams.

Gannet Biochem: Dichloromethane-led volume
Among the 3,917 Chemicals facilities in this database, Gannet Biochem reports the 2,461st-largest volume (3.4K lbs). Its reported volume is concentrated rather than spread: Dichloromethane alone is 71.0% of the total. Carcinogen-classified chemicals make up 71.0% of the reported pounds, not just of the chemical count. Scale peers outside Alabama include Sti Polymer Inc and Agroliquid - Williams.
Concentrated means ≥60% of Gannet Biochem's pounds in one chemical - here Dichloromethane at 71.0%. Not a toxicity score.
