Information on EPA’s response to Gulf Coast Oil Spill
While not specifically related to the Toxics Release Inventory, the oil spill disaster off the coast of the U.S. Gulf Coast has raised the public awareness of industrial releases in the environment and their effects. The spill has and will continue to have environmental and economic impacts on communities in the region, and EPA is pursuing assessments of the spill’s effects on the region’s residents and environment. To provide information to those affected, EPA has set up a webpage that tracks EPA’s activities, as well as the coordinated federal response to the spill. The webpage also has information on EPA’s monitoring of the air, water, and sediment quality in the vicinity of the spill.
