Vanadium compounds concentrations are up 47% since 2016.
Vanadium (except when contained in an alloy) volumes here are too small to anchor a multi-year trend; YoY movement is still shown above.
Sulfuric acid (acid aerosols including mists, vapors, gas, fog, and other airborne forms of any particle size) concentrations have more than doubled since 2010.

Indicator-level percentile and EJ-disparity scores are surfaced on the county page and the state page — they describe wider regional exposure burdens, not effects attributable to a single facility.

What this is not. TRI quantifies releases reported by the facility under EPCRA §313 — not ambient air or water concentrations measured at receptors. We do not attribute individual health outcomes to specific facilities; that exceeds what the data can support.
