Environmental Health Regulations
Environmental health regulations are rules and guidelines designed to protect public health by ensuring a safe and clean environment. These regulations address issues such as air and water quality, waste management, and exposure to hazardous substances. They are enforced by government agencies like the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in the United States.
These regulations aim to minimize health risks associated with pollution and environmental hazards. By setting standards for emissions, waste disposal, and chemical use, they help prevent diseases and promote overall community well-being. Compliance with these regulations is essential for maintaining a healthy environment for current and future generations.
