Contaminants and Industrial Processes Research

The rate at which waterborne chemical hazards are assessed with traditional approaches cannot keep pace with the rate at which new chemicals are being introduced. EPA research aims to better understand the risks posed by certain chemicals, uncertainties related to chemical transfer and transformations within the environment, and inadequacies in monitoring exposures and effects.
