Nasa Marshall Space Flight Center is an EPA Toxics Release Inventory reporter in Huntsville, AL, in the other sector. It reported 110.1K lbs of releases across 5 chemicals in 2023, and 5.8M lbs in total across its 2019-2023 reporting years. That ranks 368 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: Parker Hannifin Corp; Tintronics Industries; US Army Garrison-Redstone; American Carbonyl. Similar-scale Other peers outside Alabama: US Vanadium LLC; Lnva-North Regional Treatment Plant; McIeast-Mcb Camlej Main Facility; Entech Inc.
