    • Some of these things are not dangerous, and some of them must be handled correctly to render them safe, and some are actually used by other componies in other ways. Thanks for the site, great info to have!

    • AHHH!!! I am going to have to do some more research into exactly what all the numbers, etc. stand for, but this is really good info that needs to get out there.

    • The current TRI toxic chemical list contains 581 individually listed chemicals and 30 chemical categories (including 3 delimited categories containing 58 chemicals). If the members of the three delimited categories are counted as separate chemicals then the total number of chemicals and chemical categories is 666 (i.e., 581 + 27 + 58).
