Chesapeake Bay Program

This Toxics Loading and Release Inventory is one of many tools the Chesapeake Bay Program is using to set more targeted source reduction and pollution prevention goals to reduce and eliminate toxic impacts in the Bay. The overall goal is "a Chesapeake Bay free of toxics by reucing or eliminating the input of chemical contaminants from all controllable sources to levels that result in a no toxic or bioaccumulative impact on the living resources that inhabit the Bay or human health".
