EPA's Toxic Release Inventory rolls out a new online resource for students
Today, EPA launched “TRI in the Classroom,” a new online resource designed for Grades 8 - 12. Students will learn to navigate the database of chemical waste reports from federal and industrial facilities in the USA. Teach your class to retrieve details on the toxics released in the manufacture of the essential goods we rely on every day, from clothing to cars to pharmaceutical drugs. Students can apply their new skills to investigate potential health impacts from toxics, comparing local public health and environmental impacts with other communities in the US. Educators will find ready to use classroom materials, including an intro presentation, video and worksheets. Environmental Justice and green chemistry are among the topics covered.
Beyond the classroom, EPA provides resources for community members, researchers, advocacy organizations, businesses, the press, and Tribal, federal, state, and local government officials.
Visit the TRI Classroom, here.

On the east half of the state, streamflows continue mostly seasonal normal. There are no active floods recorded, no extreme high flows or low flows.
Light snow, 21 southwest of Cleveland at Marion Municipal Airport. Snow showers are likely later afternoon to evening, mainly after 5pm, up to half an inch of accumulation possible. The north will likely see more snow tonight, mainly before 3am, up to an inch falling overnight.
