About us
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) mission is to protect human health and the environment. EPA works to ensure that: - Americans have clean air, land and water; - National efforts to reduce environmental risks are based on the best available scientific information; - Federal laws protecting human health and the environment are administered and enforced fairly, effectively and as Congress intended; - Environmental stewardship is integral to U.S. policies concerning natural resources, human health, economic growth, energy, transportation, agriculture, industry, and international trade, and these factors are similarly considered in establishing environmental policy; - All parts of society--communities, individuals, businesses, and state, local and tribal governments--have access to accurate information sufficient to effectively participate in managing human health and environmental risks; - Contaminated lands and toxic sites are cleaned up by potentially responsible parties and revitalized; and - Chemicals in the marketplace are reviewed for safety. The agency was founded in 1970 and is headquartered in Washington, District of Columbia with ten additional regional headquarters offices (Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Kansas City, Denver, San Francisco, and Seattle) as well as more than a dozen laboratories, and other regional and programmatic offices.

📢 We've added the Upper Columbia River Site in northeast Washington to the #Superfund National Priorities List. This important step means that EPA can now more comprehensively address public health and environmental risks from over 100 years of mining-related lead and arsenic pollution that pose an unacceptable risk to residents, especially children and women of childbearing age. Contaminated river sediments also pose a risk to fish, wildlife, birds, and other organisms that live in and along the river. Learn more ⬇️ https://spgv.io/6048BXy

Experts in our Office of Research and Development are using a system of engineered streams – or mesocosms – to study the effects of oil spills on an entire stream ecosystem. The mesocosms allow scientists to dose the streams with oil to observe the real effects on the stream life, like mayflies, algae, and fish. “The goal of this work was to build a bridge between bench-top biological experiments and information collected in the field during an actual oil spill event,“ said #EPAer Dr. Kiara Lech, a research biologist working on the project.
