Chinese is the third most widely-spoken language in the United States, after English and Spanish. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has launched a new consolidated Chinese-language Web site as part of its ongoing effort to provide environmental information in English, Spanish and Chinese. The new site compiles EPA Chinese-language materials on a wide variety of issues from lead poisoning prevention, energy efficiency, and clean water to proper management of pesticides. The site also serves as a valuable tool in delivering important health and environmental information to the Chinese-speaking community, both in the U.S. and worldwide, to help protect local communities as well as the global environment. The EPA Chinese Web site's url is www.epa.gov/chinese.
