Kamax: how the 5.2K lbs splits
5.2K lbs across all reported pathways
- Off-site Transfers 5.2K lbs 100.0%
Kamax's 5.2K lbs Form-R total is OFFSITE - off-site transfers is 100.0% of the bar. Off-site transfers stay separate from air, water, and land releases. Leading chemical by pounds: Chromium.
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.
