EPA Researchers @ Work

Science forms the foundation of everything EPA does. It provides the information, tools, and innovations the Agency needs to meet its mission to protect human health and the environment.

Behind that work are EPA scientists and engineers who explore the complex interrelationships between people and our environment.

March is Women’s History Month! Click here to read about our women researchers.
