EPA Office of Research and Development:Scientific and technological arm of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. ORD is organized around a basic strategy of risk assessment and risk management to remediate environmental and human health problems.
Air Pollution Prevention & Control Division (APPCD): Researches, develops, and demonstrates air pollution prevention and control technologies for manufacturing and processing industries, power plants, incinerators, indoor environments, and sources of greenhouse gases.
Council for Regulatory Environmental Modeling: Information on models including a knowledge base and documents related to the Council.
Environmental Technology Verification Program: Data on the performance of innovative technologies intended to solve a wide range of pollution problems.
EPA Science Inventory: An EPA catalog with thousands of science activities such as research, technical assistance and assessments, along with more than 750 peer-reviewed products.
Homeland Security Research: Research focuses on enhancing the ability to detect, contain, and clean up in the event terror attacks such as chemical, biological, and radiological. Site offers news feeds via e-mail, RSS, video, and podcast.
Integrated Risk Information System: IRIS is an EPA database of human health effects that may result from exposure to various substances found in the environment.
National Center for Environmental Assessment (U.S. EPA): NCEA is EPA's national resource center for the overall process of human health and ecological risk assessments; the integration of hazard, dose-response, and exposure data and models to produce risk characterizations.
National Exposure Research Laboratory (NERL): Conducts and sponsors studies and provides information on stressor sources; pollutant transport, transformations and exposure; and source-to receptor predictive exposure models for environmental stressors.
National Health and Environmental Effects Research Laboratory (NHEERL): EPA's focal point for scientific research on the effects of contaminants and environmental stressors on human health and ecosystem integrity.
National Risk Management Research Laboratory: NRMRL conducts research into ways to prevent and reduce risks from pollution that threaten human health and the environment.
Superfund Innovative Technology Evaluation: Encourages the development and implementation of (1) innovative treatment technologies for hazardous waste site remediation and (2) monitoring and measurement.
