Environmental Impacts and Regulations of Chemical Products
Government agencies regulate the application, use, and production of chemicals because they can have negative effects on the environment. For example, chemical products can contaminate:
- Air
- Water
- Ground
Therefore, many chemicals need to be approved by government agencies like the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and other agencies who regulate the use of such products.
