protecting the Nation’s land, air, and water resources. Under a mandate of
national environmental laws, the Agency strives to formulate and implement
actions leading to a compatible balance between human activities and the
ability of natural systems to support and nurture life. To meetthis mandate,
EPA’s research program is providing data and technical support for solving
environmental problems today and building a science knowledge base
necessary to manage our ecological resources wisely, understand how
pollutants affect our health, and prevent or reduce environmental risks in the
future.
The National Risk Management Research Laboratory is the Agency’s
center forinvestigation of technological and management approaches for
reducing risks from threats to human health and the environment. The focus
of the Laboratory’s research program is on methods for the prevention and
control of pollution to the air, land, water, and subsurface resources;
protection of water quality in public water systems; remediation of
contaminated sites and ground water; and preventionand control of indoor
air pollution. The goal of this research effort is to catalyze development and
implementation of innovative, cost-effective environmental technologies;
develop scientific and engineering information needed by EPA to support
regulatory and policy decisions; and provide technical support and
information transfer to ensure effective implementation of environmental...
