The labs and centers develop knowledge, assessments and scientific tools that form the underpinnings of the vast majority of EPA's protective standards and guidance. ORD's Technical Support Centers (TSCs) are specialized resource centers that provide technical expertise to address high-priority hazardous waste issues in EPA's regional offices. TSCs can be accessed through your EPA regional office contacts. National Exposure Research Laboratory (NERL) NERL develops and applies innovations in environmental exposure science to support EPA's mission. Exposure science sets the context for understanding and solving real-world problems, and is used to help answer fundamental questions about risk, its reduction/mitigation/prevention, and risk reduction evaluation. Research capabilities include analytical/monitoring methods development; indicators/indices of exposure; exposure/dose process characterization; decision support tools (like EnviroAtlas and C-FERST); landscape characterization; predictive modeling; land use risk to humans and ecosystems; and source apportionment/environmental forensics to identify important sources and pathways for exposure.
