Covalence Adhesives: how the 11.7K lbs splits
11.7K lbs across all reported pathways
- Air Releases 11.7K lbs 100.0%
Covalence Adhesives's 11.7K 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: Toluene.
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.
