    Air Pollution in Indiana

    The EPA is a Federal Governmental Agency and was established on December 2, 1970 because of the concern about environmental pollution. When EPA was formed, it combined a variety of agencies for federal research, monitoring, standard-setting, and enforcement activities to ensure environmental protection. The mission of the EPA is “to protect human health and the environment.” Some of the main purposes of this agency include: ensuring that all Americans are protected from significant risks to health based on where they live, learn, and work; ensuring that communities and ecosystems are diverse, sustainable, and economically productive; and ensuring that all parts of society have access to accurate information so that they can effectively participate in managing their health based on environmental risks. The EPA is a great leader in influencing other nations to protect the global environment and would also like to reduce risks using the best scientific information available as well as develop federal laws to protect individuals. The EPA develops and enforces regulations that set national standards for states to create a means to enforce. If states are unable to meet national standards, the EPA develops plans to assist in meeting goals. The agency also provides assistance to companies that are struggling to meet national requirements. The EPA studies environmental issues such as the causes and best ways to correct the issues, the harm that an issue created plus…
