Databases: We provide access to several government databases on the environment and we let you search them for free. We are continuously adding and updating our databases as soon as the information becomes available. To find out when databases were last updated or what databases will be updated next, see our Status of RTK NET Databases page.
Technical Support: We provide a user manual and other materials that help you access and search the databases (online access to these materials are available under help and documents). In addition, you are welcome to call us if you have problems accessing or searching the databases. RTK NET was started in 1989 in support of the Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know Act (EPCRA), which mandated public access to the Toxic Release Inventory. It is operated by OMB Watch. In the past it was funded by various government agencies through a previous partner, Unison Institute, and foundations.
