Becoming an EPA Scientist
If you love the environment and science, you may want to consider a career combining the two at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). EPA relies on sound science to safeguard both human health and the environment. The work done in EPA's laboratories, research centers, and offices across the country helps improve the quality of air, water, soil, and the way we use resources. Applying science builds our understanding of how to protect and enhance the relationship between humans and the ecosystems of Earth.
