Where this facility sits in the TRI record
Among the 1,603 Transportation Equipment facilities in this database, Ge Aerospace Auburn reports the 259th-largest volume, placing it in the top 16.2% of its sector. Its reported volume is concentrated rather than spread: Cobalt alone is 70.1% of the total. Carcinogen-classified chemicals make up 71.9% of the reported pounds, not just of the chemical count.
Placement is computed from reported TRI pounds in this database. Thresholds are fixed across every facility page: concentrated ≥60% of volume in one chemical, county-dominant ≥25% of the county total, carcinogen-heavy ≥50% of pounds. Share-based statements are shown only for sites reporting at least 1,000 lbs, because a share of a very small total is not a meaningful signal. Reported pounds are self-reported estimates and do not measure toxicity or health risk.
