Envirofacts contains a variety of environmental information from EPA System databases, as well as other EPA data sources. All of these data are important and critical in decision-making, however some of the data sources may not be easily accessible, and for this reason, these data are grouped on this page for easy access through the Envirofacts RESTful API. Below you will find a listing of program data available for download or incorporation into a mashup.
Design for the Environment (DfE)
About the ProgramEPA's mission is to protect the health of people and the environment. To further that mission, EPA labels products so that consumers can easily choose ones that are safer for people and the environment. Using EPA's science expertise, the Design for the Environment program applies stringent criteria for health and environmental safety in labeling the safest products. When consumers see the Design for the Environment (DfE) label on a product, they can be confident that the product is among the safest when compared with traditional products. |
