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.

EPA has released a proposed risk management rule for the solvent n-methylpyrrolidone (NMP), a chemical known to cause serious health risks, including miscarriages and reduced fertility, as well as damage to the liver, kidneys, immune system, and nervous system. This rule would protect workers and consumers, while allowing NMP’s essential uses, such as semiconductor and lithium-ion battery production, to safely continue with worker protections. 🔗https://lnkd.in/esxSsSuE

Data visualization tools that are quick and easy to use, require no coding skills, and can be used with any type of air sensor are in high demand. That’s why we developed The REal TIme Geospatial Data Viewer (RETIGO), a free, web-based visualization tool. RETIGO allows users to visualize their own air sensor data, and to compare the data they collect with other data sources, such as nearby instruments that measure the same pollutants, wind measurements, satellite remote sensing data, or atmospheric model outputs. 📅 Join our #EPATools & Resources Webinar on June 5 at 3 pm ET: Web-Based Data Visualization of Air Sensor Data with RETIGO.
