New Data Available: RTK (Right-to-Know) NET Publishes Latest TRI Data: 2006 TRI Now available!

Databases: RTK (Right-to-Know) NET Publishes Latest Toxic Release Inventory Data Update: 2006 TRI is now available!

RTK NET's TRI search now has:

+ New Summary page that provides a snapshot of your search, including new graphs, charts, a breakdown of release/waste types, and Top 5 lists of polluting companies, industries, and the top chemicals being released
+ Improved low and medium detail searches that you can sort by releases or waste amounts, facility name, parent company, chemical, industry, and geographic area
+ Core chemical" search that provides meaningful chemical comparisons by isolating chemicals consistently reported to TRI
+ Links to Mapquest street maps around facilities (in high-detail searches)
+ XML output that provides more downloadable TRI data than delimited files can
+ Updated industry codes replacing NAICS codes with SIC codes
+ Incorporated estimates of 1,000 lbs released to the environment and another 1,500 lbs of waste managed to account for the new "Form A" thresholds
2006 data is the first year that the most recent burden reduction policy changes went into effect. Companies can now choose to limit the amount of information they report using the Form A if they have 5,000 pounds or less of chemical waste (or 2,000 pounds if 2,000 pounds or less is released directly into the environment). The old threshold was 500 pounds. For more information, click here.

Click to view the article Quilting big data threads
Thursday, 24th May 2012

Recently I have found myself cooing over visualisation maps (and heat maps) of health and well being resources. The content rich data is overlayed with mapping technologies, and some interesting themes and patterns are emerging.


Click to view the article The fallacy of information overload
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content. But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?


Click to view the article Information overload: fact, fantasy or filter failure?
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.


Click to view the article Newsdesk: tracking millions of pieces of information a day
Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?
