Among the 3,917 Chemicals facilities in this database, Occidental Chemical Corp reports the 3,401st-largest volume (0 lbs).
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.

About TRI Data
Data as of 2023 reporting year. Source: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Toxic Release Inventory.
Data comes from the EPA Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) program. Facilities that manufacture, process, or otherwise use listed toxic chemicals above threshold amounts are required to report annually to the EPA.
On this page the largest disclosed chemicals include Chlorine, Dioxin and dioxin-like compounds; nearby reporters include U.S. Tva Muscle Shoals. "Total releases" includes air, water, land, and off-site transfers for disposal, aggregated across available reporting years. Quantities are self-reported estimates, not measured stack emissions.
PlainEnviro presents this data without advocacy framing. The presence of a facility in the TRI database does not by itself indicate a health risk. For site-specific health questions, consult your local environmental or health agency.
