The Environmental Issue Profiles contain links and data from various sources inside and outside of EPA for issues and concerns commonly identified by communities. The Issue Profiles include links for exposure and risk reduction options, and for community and tribal projects. Use these to explore and learn about environmental issues and to see what other communities have done.
