The Watershed Management Optimization Support Tool (WMOST) was developed by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) to facilitate integrated water resources management. The new Benefits Module for WMOST enables stakeholders to calculate the value of additional ...

EPA announced the availability of the first external review draft of the <em>Integrated Science Assessment for Sulfur Oxides– Health Criteria</em> for public comment and independent peer review in a November 24, 2015 Federal Register Notice. This draft document provides EPA’s ev...

Climate change and air pollution are arguably the most significant environmental problems facing the United States and the world over the next decade. There is an urgent need to dramatically curtail emissions of greenhouse gases, including powerful short-lived forcers such as met...

Upon completing this course, you will be able to do the following: &bull; Identify why wildfire smoke exposure is a public health and clinical concern. &bull; Identify groups at greatest risk from particle pollution in wildfire smoke. &bull; Explain how particle pollution from wi...

This report describes the state of the science with respect to total Nr deposition budgets in the United States and the research needed to improve these budgets from both a measurement and modeling perspective. The document is intended to serve as a roadmap for research activiti...

Responding to an accident, fire, or deliberate chemical release can potentially expose first responders to harmful levels of toxic or corrosive chemicals. Additionally, following a contaminant release indoors, it is essential to protect the public health and provide a clearance ...

The Vineland Chemical Company operated from 1949 to 1994 producing arsenical herbicides and fungicides. A Record of Decision (ROD) signed in 1989 addressed remedial actions at the site which included a pump and treat (P&amp;T) system to remediate arsenic in groundwater. A Remedia...

An Inventory of Sources and Environmental Releases of Dioxin-Like Compounds in the United States for the Years 1987, 1995, and 2000 (EPA/600/P-03/002F, November 2006), is a peer reviewed report representing EPA’s assessment of dioxin sources and their emissions to the environment...

Atmospheric water generators (AWGs) have the potential to expand the availability of water during shortages, contamination events and interruptions of service. Given the nature of atmospheric water generation (i.e., condensation of atmospheric water vapor), high quality produced ...

Fine particulate matter of aerodynamic diameter 2.5 m or less (PM-2.5) has been found harmful to human health, and a National Ambient Air Quality Standard for PM-2.5 was promulgated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in July 1997. A national network of ambient monitorin...

The information in this document is from a collaborative effort between the U.S. EPA, Region 6 Superfund Division and the Office of Research and Development, National Risk Management Research Laboratory. Research was conducted at the US EPA Region 6 Addison Texas Facility. The fi...

Following the collapse of the World Trade Center towers on September 11, 2001, New York State and Federal agencies initiated numerous air monitoring activities to better understand the ongoing impact of emissions from the disaster. This report focuses on these air measurement da...

This paper addresses United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) operational and research challenges for the next decade in the utilization of space-based observations for the assessment of terrestrial properties affecting land, water, and air resources, and human health....

New technologies that utilize capillary-based immunoassays promise faster and more quantitative protein assessment compared to traditional immunoassays. However, similar to other antibody-based protein assays, optimization of capillary-based immunoassay parameters, such as protei...

Scientists and managers from government, academia, NGOs and the private sector came together in June 2014 to review the science and management related to reactive nitrogen and co-pollutants (e.g., phosphorus, sulfur) across the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), U.S. Geologic...

Report—Exposure estimates were performed to rank the various livestock carcass management options relative to one another for a hypothetical site and mortality scenario from a potential biological incident. Assessment included an ordinal scale ranking (ranking of individual condi...

Near-coastal (0-200 depth) ecosystems and species are under threat from increasing temperatures, ocean acidification, and sea level rise. However, species vary in their vulnerability to specific climatic changes and climate impacts will vary geographically. For management to resp...

Daily use of traditional cooking fuels and stoves in India, China, Kenya, and Ghana emits harmful air pollutants that result in over a million premature deaths annually. Reducing pollution from cookstoves is a key priority, as emissions from traditional cookstoves and open fires ...
