Reporting made easy

Chemical reporting may be new to some facilities. To help you adapt, ChemTRAC will be phased in over a four-year period. Toronto Public Health will provide free training, information and online 'calculators' to help you estimate your use and release of toxic chemicals.

See our Guide to Reporting (PDF)

In order to report you will need to determine if you release, manufacture, process, or otherwise use one or more of the toxic chemicals listed in the bylaw. To help you do this, we are developing a number free of estimation calculators. We will be posting these calculators on the website as they become available.
