We have just been notified by the United States Environmental Protection Agency in Washington, D.C. that numerous fact sheets … intended for older adults and caregivers … have recently been translated into Italian.  The information addresses common chronic conditions that can be made worse by exposure to environmental toxicants such as … pollution or drinking water contaminants.  The materials outline simple and important preventative steps to reduce exposure to environmental hazards and protect ones’ health.

The sheets may be downloaded from the following website at no cost:
