Researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst identified International Paper as the 27th-largest corporate producer of air pollution in the United States, releasing more than 35 million pounds of toxic compounds into the air annually. Major pollutants included sulfuric acid, manganese compounds, chromium, and chlorine dioxide.[1] International Paper has also been named a potentially responsible party in at least 31 Superfund sites.[2] In 2001 the corporation was one of more than 40 parties found responsible for the estimated $US 20 million cleanup of the Tri-Cities Barrel toxic waste site near Binghamton, NY.[3]
