What is the EPA's Mission?

摘要

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is the primary federal agency responsible for safeguarding the environment and protecting human health from pollution Since 1970, the agency has used three guiding principles to govern its work: results and accountability; innovation and collaboration; and best available science. Each year, the agency publishes its Regulatory Plan, most recently on Dec. 10,2007 (Federal Register, Vol. 72, No. 236, pp. 69922-69956).
