toxic release
Harmful substance emission
Toxic release refers to the discharge of harmful substances into the environment—chemicals, pollutants, or hazardous materials escaping into air, water, or soil.
The term appears most often in regulatory and environmental contexts: The factory's toxic release contaminated the groundwater.
In the U.S., the Toxic Release Inventory tracks industrial emissions reported to the EPA.
