EPA

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is a federal organization established in 1970 by President Richard Nixon to protect human health and safeguard the natural environment. It sets and enforces regulations, based on laws passed by the United States Congress, to reduce environmental risks, ensure clean air and water, and manage pollution control efforts. Additionally, the agency conducts environmental assessments, research, and education. The EPA also promotes energy efficiency and enforces measures to address issues such as climate change and recycling.
