New! Switching from high-sulfur fuel to low-sulfur fuel has been proven as an effective means of reducing air emissions near land. By decreasing the impact of particulate matter from shipping emissions, switching from high to low-sulfur fuel can have a positive impact on public health in U.S. coastal areas. In November 2009, EPA and its partners are demonstrating this with a fuel-switching project in the Gulf of Mexico.
The political boundaries of nations cross natural boundaries such as watersheds, habitats, and airsheds. How countries protect their environment has a significant impact not only at home but around the world.
EPA’s work extends from North America to Africa to Asia and the Pacific Islands, on topics such as air pollution, climate, safe drinking water, and protection from toxic pollution. EPA is working around the world to protect the health of Americans and our global neighbors.
