Exposure Research Projects By Region
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency conducts exposure research across the United States. Exposure is the contact of people or other organisms with an environmental stressor. Stressors can include chemical pollutants, physical agents like UV-B radiation, and other processes such as alterations made to wildlife habitats. Some of these research projects focus on local areas (e.g., New York City's water supply), others address broader areas (e.g., the Mid-Atlantic region), and some projects have a national scope (e.g., mercury modeling). This site provides information and data that identifies research conducted regionally.
