根据EPA(美国环保局)提供的数据,美国TRI(有毒化学物释放量)1989至1990年下降11％,工业界对最近的TRI并不感到惊奇。在SARA标题Ⅲ的313节中提供约24000家工厂的数据,有毒化学物排放量有600×10~6磅(相当于27000吨)的惊人减少。去年(1991年)TRI的报告披露,下降率更大,达18％,此数据是以长期收集的数据为基础求得的。美国道化学公司的一位女发言人认为TRI下降归因于工业界“公众责任心”增强。道化学公司出版物经理人Sharon Eisel就SARA和污染防护问题说,“民众希望真正看到污染减少,我们要牢记这个问题”。
According to the data provided by the EPA (United States Environmental Protection Agency), the US TRI (toxic chemicals release) dropped by 11% from 1989 to 1990, and the industrial sector is not surprised by the recent TRI. The data provided by about 24,000 factories in section 313 of SARA title III has a staggering reduction in toxic chemical emissions of 600 x 10-6 pounds (equivalent to 27,000 tons). Last year’s (1991) TRI report disclosed that the rate of decline was even greater at 18%. This data was obtained based on long-term data collected. A spokeswoman for Dow Chemical Corporation in the United States believes that the decline in TRI is attributed to the increase in “public accountability” in the industry. Sharon Eisel, Dow Chemical’s publication manager, said on the issue of SARA and pollution protection: “People want to see the reduction of pollution, we have to keep this issue in mind.”
