                                     dynamics, EPA researchers are investigating every
                                     scale of our environment and the links between
                                     it and human health.
                                                                         starts  with

  A Foundation Built with Science
  Our work supplies the scientific foundation
  that supports the Agency's actions to protect
  human health and the environment.
        Innovation for the Future
        Our work provides innovative solutions that
        help society meet its needs while preserving the
        ability of future generations to meet their own.
  Meeting Challenges
  Our work and that of our partners from industry,
  universities, and other research organizations
  improves air, drinking water, and land quality.
EPA conducts  integrated transdisciplinary research  in  the following  areas
Air Research
EPA air research provides the critical science to
implement the Clean Air Act and puts new science
tools and information into the hands of air quality
managers to protect our health and the environment.

Climate Change Research
EPA conducts research to understand the
environmental and health impacts of climate change
and to provide sustainable solutions for adapting to
and reducing the impact from a changing climate.

Chemical Safety  Research
EPA chemical safety  research protects human health
and the environment by evaluating chemicals for
potential risk and providing tools and guidance
for improved chemical production that supports a
sustainable environment.

Water Research
EPA water research provides the science and tools
necessary to ensure our nation's water resources are
safe, abundant, and sustainable.
Ecosystems Services Research
EPA ecosystems research and development provides
the information and tools needed to identify and
sustain the many benefits people and communities
derive from the natural environment.

Health Research
EPA health research is helping communities and
policymakers develop and implement policies
and practices to improve public health, especially
for vulnerable groups and lifestages such as
children, older adults, and the socioeconomically
disadvantaged.

Sustainability Research
EPA sustainability and sustainable communities
research is providing decision tools and data for
communities to make strategic decisions for a
prosperous and environmentally sustainable future,
and providing the foundation to better understand
the balance between the environment, society
and economy.
Homeland Security Research
To be ready to respond to a natural disaster or
terrorist event, EPA develops and delivers reliable,
responsive expertise and products based on scientific
research and evaluations of technology.

Sustainable Approaches for Contaminated
Sites and Materials Management
EPA is developing methods and techniques
to advance the clean up and rehabilitation of
contaminated  lands and ground water, and
strategically reduce, recapture, and recycle energy,
waste, and materials.
