America’s Children and the Environment
Newly Updated Data-Driven Trends on Children’s Environmental Health
EPA updated 20 of the America’s Children and the Environment (ACE) indicators and released infographics derived from the latest ACE data highlighting important findings.
EPA’s ACE online web tool provides the latest data and trends on children’s environmental health and illustrates insights on existing childhood health disparities.
ACE offers interactive graphs and figures on a variety of areas affecting children’s health. These indicators cover a wide range of topics including air, water, and land pollution; chemical levels in the body such as lead; and the prevalence of childhood diseases including asthma and neurodevelopmental disorders.

ACE was created for children’s health partners, researchers, and decision makers, including EPA, to have the tools and information we all need to address children health issues and disparities. Children are especially vulnerable to immediate and lifelong heath impacts of pollutants. Their natural defenses are not fully developed, and they are often more highly exposed to contaminants compared to adults.
