EPA Research Updates
For nearly 50 years, EPA scientists have done research to protect America’s drinking water. Read about how EPA researchers continue to meet new challenges, such as algal toxins from harmful algal blooms (HABs) and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).
From the start, EPA researchers and partners have provided the data, knowledge, and tools needed to tackle the most pressing environmental and health challenges the nation has faced. Check out this list of EPA research milestones.
In this video, EPA scientists talk about the scientific history, achievements, and breakthroughs in the Agency over the years. Hear how EPA scientists push environmental protection to new levels with advances in technology and approaches that build on 50 years of progress.
EPA scientists care deeply about the environment and their work to protect it. As we move on to the next 50 years of protecting public health and the environment, EPA researchers share their advice for the next generation of environmental scientists and engineers.
This year, Science Matters has been looking back on how research has shaped the Agency over the last 50 years. Read about how science has helped improve water quality, protect the air we breathe, and monitor the health of our ecosystems.
