What are some key regulations enforced by the EPA?
Several regulations are instrumental in reducing cancer risks, including:
Clean Air Act (CAA): This act regulates air emissions from stationary and mobile sources to ensure air quality standards are met. Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA): Ensures the quality of Americans' drinking water by setting standards for water contaminants, many of which are potential carcinogens. Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA): Grants the EPA the authority to review and regulate chemicals before they enter the market to ensure they do not pose unreasonable risks to human health.
