Itw Performance Polymers: how the 7.1K lbs splits
7.1K lbs across all reported pathways
- Air Releases 7.1K lbs 100.0%
Itw Performance Polymers's 7.1K 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: Styrene.
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.
