What Initiatives Has the EPA Taken to Combat Cancer?
The EPA has several initiatives aimed at reducing cancer risks from environmental pollutants:
Clean Air Act: Regulates emissions of hazardous air pollutants that are known carcinogens. Safe Drinking Water Act: Ensures the quality of Americans' drinking water by setting standards for water contaminants. Superfund Program: Cleans up contaminated land and responds to environmental emergencies, oil spills, and natural disasters. Toxic Substances Control Act: Regulates the introduction of new or already existing chemicals.
