Research
EPA Methods, Models, Tools, and Databases
For EPA's regulatory models, please visit the Council for Regulatory Environmental Modeling page.
Methods, Models, Tools, and Databases
EPA's air research provides the critical science to develop and implement outdoor air regulations under the Clean Air Act and puts new tools and information in the hands of air quality managers and regulators to protect the air we breathe.
Methods, Models, Tools and Databases
EPA's chemical safety research protects human health and the environment by evaluating chemicals for potential risk and providing tools and guidance for improved chemical production that supports a sustainable environment.
Methods, Models, Tools, and Databases
EPA conducts research to understand the environmental and health impacts of climate change and to provide sustainable solutions for adapting to and reducing the impact from a changing climate.
Methods, Models, Tools, and Databases
EPA's ecosystems research is working to protect ecosystems and the air and water resources that provide numerous benefits for humans and other living things.
Methods, Models, Tools, and Databases
EPA research is helping communities and policymakers develop and implement policies and practices to improve public health, especially for vulnerable groups such as children, the elderly and the socioeconomically disadvantaged.
Methods, Models, Tools, and Databases
Following the terrorist events of September 11, 2001 and the mailing of anthrax contaminated letters later that year, EPA's mission broadened to include protecting human health and the environment from the effects of biological, chemical, and radiological contamination due to homeland security events.
Methods, Models, Tools and Databases
EPA is working to develop methods and guidance to manage and clean up contaminated land, ground water and nutrient pollution as well as develop innovative approaches to managing materials and waste including energy recovery.
Methods, Models, Tools and Databases
EPA uses risk assessment to characterize the nature and magnitude of health risks to humans and animals from chemical contaminants and other stressors that may be present in the environment.
Sustainability
Methods, Models, Tools and Databases
EPA efforts in the area of sustainability practices and approaches include labeling green products and promoting green chemistry and engineering, managing materials rather than creating waste, using green infrastructure to manage storm water runoff, and supporting the sustainable design of communities.
Methods, Models, Tools and Databases
Water research conducted at EPA provides the science and tools necessary to develop sustainable solutions to 21st century water resource problems, ensuring water quality and availability in order to protect human and ecosystem health.
