These are the raw Microdata files that contain the most disaggregated data possible. For each 810 meter grid cell, the file contains scores, concentrations, and tox-weighted concentrations for each chemical release. There may be multiple records for any one grid cell. Note that if two releases for the same chemical (either from different facilities or one from a stack release and one from a fugitive release from the same facility) affect the same grid cell, there will be separate records for each grid release. 

Naming: These annual files have historically been named MicroXXXX_YYYY, where XXXX is the reporting year for the data freeze, and YYYY is the year of the data contained in the file. So Micro 2014_2010 is from the RY2014 RSEI update, and contains data for chemicals released in 2010. The new naming convention substitutes the version number for the version year, as in vXXX_micro_YYYY, where XXX is the version number and YYYY is the year of the data contained in the file; for example v234_micro_2014.csv.There is one annual file for the entire country, which is over 100 GB in size.
