Ametek Aegis is an EPA Toxics Release Inventory reporter in New Bedford, MA, in the computers and electronic products sector. It reported 2.1K lbs of releases across 2 chemicals in 2024, and 6.5K lbs in total across its 2019-2024 reporting years. That ranks 10,698 of 25,986 TRI facilities nationwide by cumulative reported pounds, counting each facility over however many years it has filed. Reported volume rose against 2022. Pounds reported are not a measure of toxicity or health risk.
Ametek Aegis has reported 6.5K lbs of toxic releases across 2 chemicals to the EPA Toxic Release Inventory, based on annual facility disclosures from 2019 through 2023. The facility operates in the Computers and Electronic Products sector. The primary release pathway is off-site transfers, accounting for 91% of total releases. All release data shown below is self-reported to the EPA under the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) Section 313.
Where this facility sits in the TRI record
Among the 760 Computers and Electronic Products facilities in this database, Ametek Aegis reports the 178th-largest volume, placing it in the top 23.4% of its sector. Its reported volume is concentrated rather than spread: Nitrate compounds (water dissociable; reportable only when in aqueous solution) alone is 89.5% of the total.
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.
Ametek Aegis files annual Form R disclosures to the EPA Toxics Release Inventory under EPCRA Section 313, classified under NAICS 334419 (Computers and Electronic Products). Across 6 years of records spanning 2019–2024, the site has disclosed 6.5K lbs in cumulative toxic releases across 2 distinct chemicals.
The dominant release pathway is off-site transfers at 7.8K lbs (90.7% of total volume), followed by air releases at 9.3%. Between 2019 and 2024, reported totals increased by 1052% - from 181 lbs to 2.1K lbs. The facility is operated under parent company Ametek Inc.
TRI Form R values are self-reported estimates, not measured stack emissions, and treat every pound of reported chemical equally regardless of toxicity. Inclusion in the TRI database does not establish a health risk to nearby residents; it documents the annual reporting record that Ametek Aegis has filed with the EPA under federal community right-to-know requirements.

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.
Release quantities are self-reported by the facility and may represent estimates rather than exact measurements. "Total releases" includes releases to air, water, land, and off-site transfers for disposal. Quantities shown here are aggregated across all available reporting years.
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.
