| Pollutants
come from many different sources and enter the air,
water and land in a variety of ways. EPA's role
is to protect plants, animals, humans, wildlife,
aquatic life, and the environment from the negative
effects pollutants and toxic substances can have
on their health. Under a broad range of federal
statutes, EPA gathers health/safety and exposure
data, requires the necessary testing, and controls
human and environmental exposures for numerous chemical
substances and mixtures. Under these laws, EPA regulates
the production and distribution of commercial and
industrial chemicals in order to ensure that chemicals
made available for sale and use in the United States
do not harm human health or the environment. Along
with the regulation of these substances, the Agency
has created databases and documents that further
the knowledge of the American people about the effects
and prevalence of such substances. |
