Question

What are two ways that the government protects us from harmful products and work conditions?

Answer 1

Answer: Outlawing asbestos and lead paint.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. On July 12, 1989, EPA issued a final rule banning most asbestos-containing products. (www.epa.gov)

2. Lead-based paints were banned for residential use in 1978. Homes built in the U.S. before 1978 are likely to have some lead-based paint. (www.cdc.gov)
