Office of Urban Affairs
ATSDR's Office of Urban Affairs (OUA) provides leadership in the areas of Minority Health and Environmental Justice.

These two areas focus attention on the environmental and human health condition in communities of color, low-income communities, and other communities that have concerns about improving health and quality of life related to environmental threats.

ATSDR's specific focus is on reducing exposure and preventing adverse human health effects and diminished quality of life associated with exposure to hazardous substances from waste sites, unplanned releases, and other sources of pollution present in the environment.
