New Hispanic Environmental Health Webpage

The EPA has launched a new webpage in Spanish dedicated to providing information on different environmental issues and their effects among Hispanics. The new page, 'El medio ambiente y su salud', The Environment and Your Health, will focus on a different issue every month. For the first month in this series the key issue is asthma. EPA offers general information about the disease, what triggers it, FAQs about asthma, and environmental health studies of Hispanics with asthma.

The creation of this site strikes me as odd and interesting, mainly because it seems that this should have been done a decade ago. It's about time. Does this mean that the EPA finally hired someone who is fluent in Spanish?
