Where this facility sits in the TRI record
Among the 760 Computers and Electronic Products facilities in this database, Globalfoundries Fab 8 reports the 9th-largest volume, placing it in the top 1.2% of its sector.
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.
Globalfoundries Fab 8 files annual Form R disclosures to the EPA Toxics Release Inventory under EPCRA Section 313, classified under NAICS 334413 (Computers and Electronic Products). Across 6 years of records spanning 2019–2024, the site has disclosed 780.2K lbs in cumulative toxic releases across 13 distinct chemicals. Largest chemicals by pounds: Ammonia; Copper; Nitrate compounds (water dissociable; reportable only when in aqueous solution); Hydrogen fluoride.
The dominant release pathway is off-site transfers at 733.0K lbs (81.9% of total volume), followed by air releases at 18.1%. Between 2019 and 2024, reported totals decreased by 33% - from 172.4K lbs to 114.8K lbs. Nearest other TRI reporters: Polyset Co Inc; Ball Metal Beverage Container Corp; Slack Chemical Co. Inc.; Quad/graphics Inc. Similar-scale peers outside New York: Globalfoundries U.S. 2 LLC - Vermont Facility; Onsemi; Texas Instruments Inc; Western Digital Technologies - Fremont.
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 Globalfoundries Fab 8 has filed with the EPA under federal community right-to-know requirements - open Polyset Co Inc for a different chemical mix before treating volume as risk.

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.
On this page the largest disclosed chemicals include Ammonia, Copper, Nitrate compounds (water dissociable; reportable only when in aqueous solution), Hydrogen fluoride; nearby reporters include Polyset Co Inc. "Total releases" includes air, water, land, and off-site transfers for disposal, aggregated across available reporting years. Quantities are self-reported estimates, not measured stack emissions.
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.
