Advisories are non-regulatory documents that communicate risk information to the public and to authorities who may have to make risk management decisions. The EPA administers a variety of advisory committees which consider policy issues and provide recommendations for regulatory and non-regulatory actions. Advisories are intended to serve as warning about levels of contaminants that can cause harm to human health and the environment. The EPA issues advisories on drinking water, beaches, fish and wildlife consumption and air quality.
