    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).

    Haha, no information on my zip code. That can't be good. Benzene? Uranium? Those aren't harmful right?

    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!
