Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The EPCRA (Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act) outlines a list of Extremely Hazardous Substances (EHSs), which are highly toxic chemicals that pose a significant risk to human health and the environment in case of accidental release or exposure. This list includes more than 350 chemicals and their thresholds, and facilities that store, produce or use them above the threshold quantity must report them to the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) and local emergency responders. Hence, choice C is the correct answer. Choices A, B, D and E are incorrect as they do not align with the definition and purpose of EHSs.
