Safer Chemicals Research
What is Safer Chemicals Research?
EPA’s Safer Chemicals Research is addressing the lack of sufficient information on chemicals needed to make informed, risk-based decisions. This high-quality, innovative research supports Agency, local, state, regional, and tribal decision-making and actions to protect human health and the environment.
