U.S. Doe Argonne National Laboratory is an EPA Toxics Release Inventory reporter in Lemont, IL, in the other sector. It reported 56.1K lbs of releases across 2 chemicals in 2023, and 151.1K lbs in total across its 2019-2023 reporting years. That ranks 3,744 of 25,986 TRI facilities nationwide by cumulative reported pounds, counting each facility over however many years it has filed. In Illinois's 951 reporting TRI sites, pounds #1 is not chemical-count #1. U.S. Doe Argonne National Laboratory is pounds #151 and chemical-count #512 at 151.1K lbs. Prairie State Generating Co leads reported pounds (37.9M lbs) at 31 chemicals (chemical-count #8). Veolia N.a. Inc. leads chemical count at 141 chemicals (1.9M lbs, pounds #34). Reported volume rose against 2022. Pounds reported are not a measure of toxicity or health risk. Nearest other TRI reporters: Meaden Screw Products Co; Cci Manufacturing Il Corp; K.a. Steel Chemicals Inc. D/b/a Olin Chlor Alkali Products &; The Morey Corp.

U.S. Doe Argonne National Laboratory: Lead-led volume
Among the 632 Other facilities in this database, U.S. Doe Argonne National Laboratory reports the 103rd-largest volume, placing it in the top 16.3% of its sector. Its reported volume is concentrated rather than spread: Lead alone is 99.8% of the total. Carcinogen-classified chemicals make up 99.8% of the reported pounds, not just of the chemical count. Scale peers outside Illinois include US Marine Corps Air Station Miramar and Union Carbide Corp Technology Park Operations.
Concentrated means ≥60% of U.S. Doe Argonne National Laboratory's pounds in one chemical - here Lead at 99.8%. Not a toxicity score.
