EPA Research Updates
Air sensors are increasingly being used by researchers, state and local agencies, participatory scientists, and others to monitor and measure air quality. However, there is still a need to better understand the performance of air sensors. To continue to advance these technologies, EPA has extended a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement with Aeroqual, a New Zealand-based company specializing in the development of air quality monitoring equipment.
Cumulative impacts and environmental injustices disproportionately impact underserved and overburdened communities. Five panelists from across EPA recently gathered for a public discussion to talk about the Agency’s research and regulatory activities on cumulative impacts. This was the inaugural webinar for EPA’s new Healthy and Resilient Communities Research Webinar Series.
Some of the world’s leading water researchers work at EPA’s water research labs in Cincinnati, Ohio. EPA recently hosted members of local and national media on a tour of the unique research complex, where they discussed several topics including PFAS in drinking water, lead service lines, and legionella in premise plumbing.
