Understanding our Environmental Impact Scores. Toxic Environmental Risks Analytical Intelligence

Abstract

The data at TERAIN are divided into scores and indexes based on PRTR data that has been enhanced through the design of proprietary analytical methodology. This has resulted in the presentation of this data in a more sophisticated form that allows to conduct more complex and elaborated studies. TERAIN’s scores a total of 9 indicators that aim to capture the real environmental impact at the facility, company, and region levels. These scores are an aggregation of the toxicity weighting factors of each of the reported pollutants. Each of them reflects either the medium or the process involved in the reported emissions at any of the three levels of aggregation (facility, company, or region).
