2005 Children’s Environmental Health Excellence and Recognition Awards
The Children's Environmental Health Awards increase awareness, stimulate activity, and recognize efforts that protect children from environmental health risks at the local, regional, national and international level.
| Children's Environmental Health Champion The Children's Environmental Health Champion is an honorary award presented to individuals to recognize their outstanding efforts and commitment to advancing environmental health issues. The 2005 Children's Environmental Health Champion award was presented to E. Ramona Trovato. During Ms. Trovato’s 30-year career with the EPA, she held leadership positions in seven offices at EPA headquarters in Washington, D.C. and served as a scientist in EPA Region 3. These offices include: Research and Development, Air and Radiation, Solid Waste and Emergency Response, Environmental Information, Enforcement and Compliance Assurance, and the Office of the Administrator. During her tenure, she worked on many complex environmental issues to find solutions that would protect the environment and public health and be cost-effective. Ms. Trovato believes her greatest contribution was in protecting and promoting children's health, particularly by raising awareness about children's environmental health and changing the way children are considered in hazard and exposure assessments and in economic analyses. Ms. Trovato is honored to have been a member of the teams that tackled these important issues. |
