Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) Chemicals

EPA developed the list of CERCLA hazardous substances reported to the TRI by comparing the list of chemicals at 40 CFR 302.4 (i.e., "Designation of Hazardous Substances") to the TRI list of reportable toxic chemicals for reporting years 1987 through 2011. In making this comparison, EPA used the individually TRI-listed chemicals (i.e., chemicals identified through Chemical Abstract Service registry number (CASRN)) as well as the TRI chemical categories (e.g., N010, antimony compounds; N106, cyanide compounds).

Note: the TRI chemical categories may include chemicals in the list of CERCLA hazardous substances as well as other chemicals. For example, the TRI chemical category N590, polycyclic aromatic compounds (PACs), includes benzo(a)anthracene, a chemical in the list of CERCLA hazardous substance, as well as 1-nitropyrene, a chemical not in the list of CERCLA hazardous substances. Therefore, the use of TRI chemical categories might result in the overestimation of the actual chemical quantities associated with CERCLA hazardous substances.
