Precision Castparts Corporation, previously ranked at number one among the Toxic 100, has submitted data to US EPA revising its 2010 TRI reporting. Based on the pounds revisions, Precision Castparts ranks 10th on the Toxic 100. Furthermore, Precision Castparts undertook testing of the share of hexavalent chromium in its total chromium releases. With facility-specific data on the hexavalent chromium share replacing US EPA's estimates, Precision Castparts ranks 20th on the Toxic 100. Precision Castparts indicates that its cobalt and nickel releases are in forms (elemental and specific compounds) that are less toxic than those assumed by EPA's RSEI model. The next edition of the Toxic 100 will reflect the most current information. |

Explanatory notes
Toxic score: Population health risk from air releases and incineration transfers reported to the US Environmental Protection Agency’s Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) for the 2010 Reporting Year, as computed by the US EPA’s Risk-Screening Environmental Indicators (RSEI ver. 2.3.1) from quantity released, toxicity of chemicals, and population exposure. Data are adjusted by the Corporate Toxics Information Project for subsequent revisions to TRI data.
Source: US EPA and Corporate Toxics Information Project (CTIP).
Quantity of toxic air releases and incineration transfers: Millions of pounds of toxic chemicals released to the air on-site or transferred off-site for incineration in the TRI 2010 Reporting Year, without adjustment for toxicity or population exposure.
Source: US EPA.
Environmental Justice (EJ): Poor Share and Minority Share: Shares of the total population health risk borne by people living below the poverty line or by people in minority racial/ethnic groups. In the U.S. population, 12.9 percent live below the poverty line and 31.8 percent are members of minority racial/ethnic groups.
Sources: US EPA, US Census, and CTIP.
Coverage: This table presents the highest toxic-score companies that appear on current Forbes, Fortune, and Standard & Poor’s large company lists. Individual facilities are assigned to corporate parents on the basis of the most current information on the ownership structure.
