For three decades, the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) has kept America safe from hazards in our environment. ATSDR scientists have worked in more than 8,000 U.S. communities assessing health risks from hazardous exposures and educating Americans so they can keep themselves and their families safe.
