For the past two decades, U.S. factories that put toxic chemicals into the air and water had to report them, in detail, to the federal government and the public.

That means, in California alone, as much as 6-hundred thousand pounds of toxic chemicals could go under-reported this year. David Gorn reporting for QUEST radio has more.
