If a substance is identified as harmful and the harm is imminent, the Environmental Protection Agency can conduct an inspection of Noxious's plant to ensure compliance with regulations and potentially order a recall or shutdown of production if necessary. The other options are not appropriate actions for the EPA to take in response to harmful pesticides.

Question 6

Disposal Company operates a hazardous waste storage facility.Concerned that there may be a release of chemicals from the site,the company sells the property to Eager Developers,Inc.If there is a release,the seller is most likely

As the previous owner and operator of the hazardous waste storage facility, Disposal Company may still be held liable if there is a release of chemicals from the site. This is because liability can extend beyond the actual owner of the property to those responsible for the hazardous waste that was stored on the site. Selling the property to Eager Developers, Inc. does not necessarily release Disposal Company from potential liability.
