Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) is responsible for setting regulations and guidelines for the quality of public drinking water in the United States. Mario should contact the EPA to learn more about the safety of his tap water. The BPA (Bisphenol A) is a chemical used in plastic products, the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) regulates agricultural products, and the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) regulates food, drugs, and medical devices. These agencies do not have direct responsibility for regulating the safety of public drinking water.
