What is the Role of Legislation in Controlling Environmental Toxins?
Legislation plays a crucial role in controlling environmental toxins by setting standards and regulations to limit the release and use of hazardous substances. Laws such as the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) are designed to protect public health and the environment by regulating pollutants and ensuring remediation of contaminated sites.
