Environmental Progress and Challenges
The report begins with an overview outlining the Agency1s major priorities. These priorities, such as responding to risk, encouraging public involvement, and preventing future environmental problems are emphasized throughout the report. The overview is followed by chapters on Air, Water, Land, and Toxics. Each chapter is divided into sections that focus on the most important environmental issues.
