What Does PRTR Stand For?

PRTR stands for Pollutant Release And Transfer Register

PRTR, or Pollutant Release and Transfer Register, is a comprehensive database that documents the release and transfer of pollutants by various facilities. It aims to enhance transparency and accountability regarding environmental impacts by providing accessible data on the quantities of hazardous substances released into the environment and those transferred off-site for treatment or disposal. PRTR systems are essential tools for promoting environmental management, guiding policy decisions, and fostering public awareness of pollution issues.
