EPA released the final report, EPA's 2008 Report on the Environment (EPA 2008 ROE), a science-based report that answers questions about recent trends in human health and the environment. This report aids the American people with an important resource from which they can better understand trends in the condition of the air, water, land, and human health of the United States.
This report uses scientifically sound measures, called indicators, to address fundamental questions relevant to the EPA's mission to protect the environment and human health.
