United States | The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has launched a consolidated Chinese language website as part of its on-going effort to provide environmental information in key languages.
The new site incorporates 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 USA and worldwide – to help protect local communities as well as the global environment.
The new portal should also enhance environmental co-operation between the USA and China, it is claimed. EPA has a robust programme of co-operation with several of China’s governmental bodies to address threats to human health and the environment, including initiatives on air pollution, water pollution and management of hazardous waste and toxic substances. EPA also collaborates with China on research, policy development and the build-up of environmental enforcement capability.
Chinese is the third most widely-spoken language in the USA after English and Spanish.
