air

The EPA’s mission is to protect human health and the environment — especially air and water (e.g., the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act). Food and medical devices are mainly regulated by FDA/USDA, and consumer product safety is primarily handled by the CPSC (though the EPA does regulate certain chemicals and pesticides used on products).
