Answer:

The EPA's role is to regulate the manufacturing, processing, distribution, and use of chemicals and other pollutants1. The agency enforces its findings through fines, sanctions, and other procedures. It oversees programs to promote energy efficiency, environmental stewardship, sustainable growth, air and water quality, and pollution prevention1. The EPA's mission is to protect human health and the environment2. EPA works to ensure that Americans have clean air, land, and water, and that national efforts to reduce environmental risks are based on the best available scientific information2. EPA's primary mission-essential functions and responsibilities include preventing, limiting, mitigating, or containing chemical, oil, radiological, biological, and/or hazardous materials/agents during and in the aftermath of an accident and/or natural or man-made disaster in designated zones of the United States, while providing environmental monitoring, assessment, and reporting in support of overall domestic incident management.
