Environmental Health and Your Community

Introduction

The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) works with other federal agencies, states, and local governments to assess health risks in communities where people may come in contact with dangerous chemicals.

We use the best science to respond and provide health information to community members, environmental groups, tribal governments, and state, local, and other federal agencies to prevent or lower harmful health effects from dangerous chemicals.

ATSDR receives laboratory test results from things like soil, water, and air samples collected by federal, state and local partners, and let people know if there are health risks.
