The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is the United States Federal government agency responsible for protecting human health and the environment in the U.S. EPA leads the U.S. environmental science, research, education and assessment efforts.
EPA: develops and enforces environmental regulations to implement environmental laws enacted by the U.S. Congress; provides financial assistance to U.S. states to support their environmental programs; performs environmental research at 12 national research laboratories across the U.S.;sponsors over 40 voluntary pollution prevention partnerships and programs; advances environmental education efforts to develop environmentally conscious and responsible public; and provides international environmental programs in air, water and toxics in a variety of countries.

In Asia, EPA has developed a variety of programs, designed to build capacity for air quality management, including

• Urban Air Quality Management, Assessment & Demo Projects
• Vehicle and Fuel Projects, under the Partnership for Clean Fuels and Vehicles
• Clean Air Training Network for Asia
• Integrated Environmental Strategies project
