Illumina: how the 13.9K lbs splits
13.9K lbs across all reported pathways
- Air Releases 13.9K lbs 100.0%
Illumina's 13.9K lbs Form-R total is AIR - air releases is 100.0% of the bar. Off-site transfers stay separate from air, water, and land releases. Leading chemical by pounds: Acetonitrile.
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.

Illumina: Acetonitrile-led volume
Among the 760 Computers and Electronic Products facilities in this database, Illumina reports the 140th-largest volume, placing it in the top 18.4% of its sector. Its reported volume is concentrated rather than spread: Acetonitrile alone is 65.7% of the total. Scale peers outside California include Diodes US Manufacturing Inc and Supelco.
Concentrated means ≥60% of Illumina's pounds in one chemical - here Acetonitrile at 65.7%. Not a toxicity score.
