abstract

EPA’s role is to prevent harm to human health and the environment from pollution and waste. Environmental public health is the part of that role that focuses on preventing harm to human health from pollution and waste.

We deal with how past, current and potential future impacts of pollution and waste can affect human health.

To do this, EPA:

works to strengthen air and water quality standards and laws to make sure public health is protected does air and water quality monitoring. We then report it to the public through AirWatch, Beach Report and Yarra Watch with emergency and incident response advice does pilot studies into air and water pollution and their sources targets risks of harm to communities. For example, waste stockpiles works to improve industry practices with the aim of reducing and preventing land and water contamination.
