美国环保局已将保护儿童环境卫生作为自己最重要的重点工作。有关儿童是怎么和何时处于危险之中的资料对于实现该目标至关重要。科学研究与政策关系的最近实例有美国环保局采取的以下行动：实施国家科学院关于儿童食品中农药的建议，减少和预防儿童铅中毒，以及修订臭氧和颗粒物的环境空气质量标准。以保护儿童免受食品中农药残留危害为全国重点的食品质量保护法，为了决策当前仍然需要更多的资料。食品质量保护法和１９９６年安全饮用水法修订案进一步推动了有关破坏内分泌的物质的潜在危险筛检计划的制定工作。克林顿总统发布行政命令首次要求各联邦机构减少儿童环境卫生和安全危险是另一推动力。美国保护儿童的国际承诺的成功是与环境资料的强化和易获得性分不开的。为了适应这些挑战，美国环保局正在修订主要的科学政策，扩大科研机会和增加透明度。在这样的氛围下，科研团体有越来越多的机会在促进确保当今和未来儿童卫生方面发挥更大的作用
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has made the protection of children’s environmental hygiene the most important work of its own. Information on how and when children are at risk is crucial to achieving this goal. Recent examples of the relationship between scientific research and policy include the following actions taken by the US Environmental Protection Agency: implementation of the National Academy of Sciences recommendation on pesticides in children’s food, reduction and prevention of lead poisoning in children, and revision of ambient air quality standards for ozone and particulates. The National Food Quality Protection Act, which focuses on protecting children from the harmful effects of pesticide residues in food, still requires more information for decision-making. The amendments to the Food Quality Protection Act and the Safe Drinking Water Act of 1996 further promoted the development of a potential risk screening plan for the destruction of endocrine substances. President Clinton’s release of an executive order for the first time required federal agencies to reduce children’s environmental health and safety risks as another driving force. The success of the United States’ international commitment to child protection is inseparable from the strengthening and accessibility of environmental data. To adapt to these challenges, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is revamping major science policies to expand research opportunities and increase transparency. In this atmosphere, scientific research groups have more and more opportunities to play a greater role in promoting the current and future of children’s health.
