The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) relies on sound science to safeguard both human health
and the environment. Leading-edge research helps provide the solid underpinning of science and technology
for the Agency including ways to prevent pollution, protect human health, and reduce risk. Work at
laboratories, research centers, and regional offices across the country helps improve the quality of air, water, soil,
and the way we use resources. Applied science builds our understanding of how to protect and
enhance the relationship between humans and the ecosystems of Earth.
The following list of research areas comprises both traditional areas of environmental concern as well as
