What EPA standards regulate toluene?
Reporting required under Section 313 of SARA Title III, commonly known as Form R, is rapidly approaching. Under this section, certain facilities that manufacture, process, import, or otherwise use listed toxic chemicals must report the environmental release of such chemicals to their state and the EPA. Toxic chemicals are literally poisonous and they should be treated as such. It is important to know where these hazards are and how to deal effectively with them in the workplace and prevent their release into the environment: air, land, and water. Whether your facility has to file Form R reports or not, it is very important to identify and control toxic chemical risks to employees, the community, and the environment. It is also important to document the evaluation for your site-specific toxic chemical reporting needs. Form R Criteria: • A facility’s Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code lies somewhere between 2000-3999, along with these additional SIC numbers: 10, 12, 4911, 4931
