EPA announces release of the

2008 Report on the Environment

May 20, 2008

The EPA, in following it's mission to protect human health and the environment, follows a process that ultimately produces the Report on the Environment which was released today.  It details their work to track trends in the condition of the nation’s air, water, and land, as well as related trends in human health and ecological systems.  It is an extremely important document in our industry and may attract additional attention with recent media exposure to the growing list of prescription drugs found, typically at  extremely low concentrations, in drinking water supplies across the country.  

"EPA’s 2008 Report on the Environment provides the American people with an important resource from which they can better understand trends in the condition of the air, water, and land and related trends in human health and ecological condition in the United States."   [EPA Link]
