EPA Announces New Human Health Research Web Site

EPA`s Human Health Research Program launched a new Web site on the latest information on its research to protect public health. The program`s science looks at such questions as why some people are more sensitive to pollution and how exposure to chemicals affects people`s health. The site is designed for the general public as well as for the scientific community.

`The best decisions are informed decisions,` said George Gray, assistant administrator for the Office of Research and Development. `The site provides easy access to research and results on methods, tools, and data needed to improve risk assessments to protect the public.`

Visitors to the site will find an overview of the research, information on how research has contributed to decision making, resource materials available in journal publications and reports, and a listing of meetings and conferences.
