[CPEO-BIF] EPA launches new Spanish web site

["Robert Hersh" <b_hersh@verizon.net>]

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has launched a new consolidated
Spanish Web site as part of its ongoing effort to provide environmental
information both in Spanish and English.

The new site compiles EPA's Spanish language materials on a wide variety
of areas from lead poisoning prevention to controlling asthma triggers,
recycling to proper management of pesticides.  The site was developed
through a series of focus groups to respond to the environmental needs
and interests of Hispanics.

In addition to environmental health information, the site also offers
educational resources for students and teachers who often seek Spanish
language learning tools on the environment.  The site also provides
information about EPA grants, small business opportunities and
environmental jobs at EPA.

Also, the National Institute for Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS)
http://wetp.org/wetp/ also has resources in Spanish.  The NIEHS Health
Sciences Worker Education and Training (NIEHS WETP) web site includes
information about hazardous waste worker training, occupational safety
and health and training for response to chemical and biological
threats..
