At the Environmental Science Center, EPA scientists conduct tests on soil, air and water samples to determine the presence of pollutants and other contaminants. EPA microbiologists test drinking water to ensure its safety. Hospital disinfectants are tested to ensure the validity of their claims and chemists develop the analytical methods necessary to monitor pesticide residues in food. Science center staff also inspect and investigate manufacturing facilities, hazardous waste sites, and public and private labs.
The facility provides office space for 150 people and consolidates six leased facilities into one government-owned site. The facility represents a partnership between Region 3 and EPA HQ. Approximately 2/3 of the 70 laboratories at the facility support Region 3 personnel including Office of Analytical Services and Quality Assurance, and the Field Inspection Program. The remaining laboratories support HQ Office of Pesticides Program Personnel and the Baltimore resident office of EPA's Criminal Investigation Division.
