Environmental protection agencies

Environmental Protection Agencies (EPAs) are government organizations responsible for safeguarding natural resources and public health. They create and enforce laws to reduce pollution, protect air and water quality, manage waste, and promote sustainable practices. EPAs also monitor environmental conditions, issue regulations, and support pollution prevention initiatives. Their goal is to ensure a clean, safe environment for current and future generations while balancing economic development with ecological health. They collaborate with industries, communities, and scientists to develop effective policies and respond to environmental emergencies.
