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 delivered on our promise to address #PFAS pollution across the country and protect all Americans from these #ForeverChemicals. https://spgv.io/6040BRMHere are the five biggest things EPA has done to tackle this problem ⬇️
- 📢 We’re asking for information on the chemicals 6PPD and 6PPD-quinone. 6PPD has been used in tires for over 60 years and transforms into 6PPD-quinone when exposed to ozone. This can be toxic to aquatic species when stormwater carries it from roadways to waterways. We’re interested in information on the chemicals, including environmental and human health effects and information on releases from consumer products such as sneakers, playgrounds, rubber-modified asphalt, reused tire or other rubber products. We're also seeking information about 6PPD alternatives, as well as potential chemical transformation products associated with potential alternatives. Learn more ⬇️https://spgv.io/6040BR8
