The Environmental Protection Agency

Abstract: 6 pages in length. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), a federal agency whose sole purpose is to improve environmental quality, was implemented thirty years ago due to the detrimental impact humans have had upon the earth. With Dr. Brian Robinson serving as chairman for the past fifteen years (recently retired in February), its task is daunting when it comes to maintaining environmental integrity in light of the myriad issues it must face. Together with local and state agencies, the EPA takes charge of situations that require massive intervention so as to prevent further environmental damage. Bibliography lists 10 sources.
