EPA lowers toxic tracking risk score for Greater Cleveland, but Ohio as a whole increased

The EPA monitors chemical emissions from facilities in the United States based on the type of chemicals released in the air, land and water and transported to another site.CLEVELAND, Ohio — Ohio is the seventh-highest state in the country for facility chemicals with potential risk-related impacts on human health, according to the latest data from 2022 from the TRI Toxics Tracker, which is managed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

The state’s hazard score increased from 2021, even though Ohio also saw a decrease in the volume of chemicals it released in 2022 compared to 2021 by more than 7 million pounds and in the volume of waste managed by nearly 50 million pounds. This indicates that while total emissions have decreased, the use of dangerous chemicals has not.
