Office of Children's Health Protection

The Office of Children's Health Protection (OCHP) is a part of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) focused on ensuring that children’s health is protected from environmental hazards. It works to identify and reduce risks from pollution and unsafe products, recognizing that children are more vulnerable to environmental threats than adults. OCHP promotes policies and programs that foster healthier environments for children, conducts research, and provides guidance to improve access to safe air, water, and safe homes to enhance children's overall well-being and development.
