Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Before the creation of the EPA in 1970, pollution litigation was primarily handled by state and local laws. The federal government did not have a unified approach to environmental pollution, and there was no centralized entity responsible for regulation. Instead, individual states and local governments would bring lawsuits against polluters or pass their own regulations.
