June 6, 2007—The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has launched a new, consolidated Chinese-language Web site as part of its ongoing effort to provide environmental information in English, Spanish, and Chinese, the three most widely spoken languages in the US.
The new site compiles EPA Chinese-language materials on a wide variety of issues from lead poisoning prevention, energy efficiency, and clean water to proper management of pesticides.
The site also delivers health and environmental information to the Chinese-speaking community, both in the US and worldwide, to help protect local communities as well as the global environment.
The new portal is also expected to enhance environmental cooperation between the US and China . EPA has a robust program of cooperation with several Chinese governmental bodies to address threats to human health and the environment. EPA also collaborates with China on research, policy development, and buildup of environmental enforcement capability.
