EPA launches new Hispanic environmental health webpage
The US Environmental Protection Agency has launched a new Webpage in Spanish
dedicated to providing information on different environmental issues and their
effects among Hispanics residing in the United States. The new page, "El medio
ambiente y su salud",or, “The Environment and Your Health,” will focus on a
different issue every month.
For the first month in this series the key issue is asthma. In this new page,
EPA offers general information about the disease, its environmental triggers,
asthma FAQs, and environmental health studies of Hispanics and asthma.
In future months EPA will have similar pages on other environmental health
issues of special concern to Hispanics such as lead poisoning prevention, radon,
carbon monoxide, particulate matter, and mold, among others. This new Webpage
presents information both in Spanish and English. It is part of the agency's
overall efforts to educate Hispanics, researchers and health care providers on
how environmental health issues affect the different Hispanic communities
throughout the nation.
