Aggregate data [agg]
The following variables are provided:
The units of measurement for employees are kilograms per 1,000 employees, and for value of output and value added, the units are kilograms per 1987 $US million.
The database used to determine pollution intensities is the same database used from the TRI to generate the Industrial Pollution Projection System (IPPS). All the pollution intensities represented are lower-bound. To learn how lower-bound pollution intensities were calculated, please refer to Section 3.2.4, "Alternative Estimates of Sectoral Pollution Intensity" of the The industrial pollution projection system http://go.worldbank.org/1UMX76DK20. (Please also note, Section 4, Construction of a Toxic Risk Pollution Intensity Index of this paper represents an unrelated risk weighting methodology.)
TLV's are measures of safe toxic exposure levels, as determined by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists http://www.acgih.org/ (ACGIH). They are time-weighted average concentrations in air that cannot be exceeded without adverse effects for workers in a normal 8-hour work day and a 40-hour work week. TLV's are updated annually by the ACGIH. This data uses 1996 values.
All TLV's units are in milligrams per cubic meter. In cases where no TLV measurement is provided for a chemical, it is because no guideline had been provided by the ACGIH. Also please note that not all toxics are released by plants in all sectors, so that for a particular toxic, the omission of a sector row implies zero output of the toxic from that sector.

PRDEI has provided pollution intensities with their corresponding toxic risks for 246 chemicals in the U.S. EPA’s Toxic Release Inventory (TRI).
The database used to determine pollution intensities is the same database used from the TRI to generate the
Industrial Pollution Projection System (IPPS). All the pollution intensities represented are lower-bound. To learn how lower-bound pollution intensities were calculated, please refer to Section 3.2.4, "Alternative Estimates of Sectoral Pollution Intensity" of the IPPS paper at http://www.NIPR.org/work_paper/1431/. Please also note, Section 4, Construction of a Toxic Risk Pollution Intensity Index represents an unrelated risk weighting methodology.
