Environmental Protection Agency Guidelines for CVM

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) guidelines for the Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM) ensure that medicines and products used in animals are safe for the environment. These guidelines set standards for testing and monitoring that reduce the risk of contamination or pollution from veterinary drugs, ensuring they don’t harm wildlife, water sources, or ecosystems. The goal is to protect public health and the environment by promoting responsible use and strict oversight of veterinary pharmaceuticals, minimizing environmental impacts while supporting animal health.
