This presentation contributes to the SoCal Pb symposium which seeks to raise awareness, share knowledge, and discuss actionable next steps towards solutions to reduce lead risk in LA.

The <em>2019 Integrated Science Assessment for Particulate Matter</em> (PM ISA) provides the scientific foundation for review of the primary and secondary National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for particulate matter (PM). The PM ISA contains an evaluation and synthesis o...

The BMD model code and modeling results are included in the files. These files support data and results provided in the draft IRIS assessment for inorganic arsenic (external review draft).

Across the U.S., some individuals and communities are more susceptible to disproportionate harm from climate change due to differences in exposure and vulnerability to climate hazards. This report investigates the projected risks of climate change to socially vulnerable populatio...

Microplastic contamination raises concerns in drinking water quality due to difficulties in removing them during treatment and potential for contaminant leaching. EPA&rsquo;s Office of Research and Development is interested in developing sampling and analytical methods for microp...

The fugitive emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from industrial processes are currently managed through in-person leak detection and repair (LDAR) efforts that are costly and occur periodically. These emissions are not rigorously accounted for in current emissions inv...

Residential wood and pellet stoves produce smoke that contains multiple pollutants such as particulate matter (PM), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and a plethora of other hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) that can contribute to poor air quality. VOCs from residential wood combu...

This is the presentation based on the abstract, ORD.0.0.0.382.   What does it take for a good scientific idea to survive the political lawmaking process? How can scientists and engineers contribute to this effort from inside the legislative branch? For the year 2022, the author h...

Above ground storage tanks/terminals provide an essential link in the transportation of fuel between national infrastructure (e.g., pipelines) and local distribution points (e.g., gas stations). Volatile components of refined gasoline/fuels (including ozone precursors and air tox...

In July 2023, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) hosted a workshop bringing together experts to discuss air sensor quality assurance (QA). This workshop focused on particulate matter (PM) sensors, fenceline and near-source community volatile organic compound (VOC) senso...

This is a set of slides to be used in &quot;scrolling slide&quot; fashion during an EPA Networking Session at the National Adaptation Forum (NAF) in St. Paul, Minnesota on Wednesday, May 15th. The session will feature art from the Fifth National Climate Assessment (NCA5) as part ...

In this poster for the National Adaptation Forum 2024, we will identify and categorize literature published in the last 20 years that addresses observed health benefits and burdens of NbS with respect to vulnerable communities experiencing climate change. Using a visual approach ...

The EPA Office of Research and Development&rsquo;s Next Generation Emission Measurement (NGEM) program focuses on researching the deployment of lower-cost air sensors near known emissions sources. The air quality measurements collected with these sensors can be used to indicate t...

Industrial and waste management facilities can emit air pollutants and odorous compounds from fugitive leaks, process malfunctions, and area sources that are difficult to predict, quantify, and manage. These sources can produce a range of environmental and life quality impacts an...

As U.S. Environmental Protection Agency launches research to advance topics at the intersection of community, climate, health, and nature, we are inviting local decision-makers, city planners, community leaders, NGOs, academics, and private sector experts that are attending the c...

This research summary is based on a literature review of research on social vulnerability to flooding. Social vulnerability is the result of processes of social marginalization and economic disadvantage that creates inequities. These processes and the multiple identities and life...

The Equitable Resilience Builder (ERB) is a downloadable application that for enhancing community engagement and equity in resilience planning. The tool provides guidance and activities for assessing community resilience needs and identifying actions. Activities include network m...

The Adaptation Organon (AO) for Resilient Natural Resources is a web-based interactive framework and information resource for integrating climate change and other environmental information into project and program planning. It is being used by the U.S. Environmental Protection Ag...

An &lsquo;organon&rsquo; is a thought instrument or system of logic that unifies a body of scientific principles. The Adaptation Organon (AO) is an interactive, web-based instrument for considering climate change and other environmental information to inform adaption and improve ...

This is a talk I will give as part of the Toxics Webinar | Issue Cover Authors of 2023. I will only discuss published work that has been cleared and published in Toxics last year.

In 2018, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) established the EPA Environmental and Human Health Indicators Community of Practice (EHHI CoP) with members from across the agency. The purpose of the community has been to advance environmental and human health indicator[1]...

We reviewed the available social-ecological, hydrological, and geochemical literature for the ecological systems of the San Juan Bay Estuary (SJBE), a site in the Environmental Protection Agency’s National Estuarine Program. The objective of the review is to gather in one place a...

Overview of the EPA ORD's extramural research grant programs such as STAR, P3, and National Priority will be presented to the academic researchers from Ohio State University.

Current methods for cancer risk assessment are resource-intensive and not practical for thousands of untested chemicals in the environment. In earlier studies, we developed a new approach methodology (NAM) to identify liver tumorigens using gene expression biomarkers and associat...

To continue estimating hedonic property models, possibly expanding environmental justice analyses, and undertaking other analyses that use property characteristics, EPA is interested in acquiring national property transaction data as a replacement for Zillow&rsquo;s ZTRAX data. Z...
