What are the FDA and EPA?

The FDA (Food and Drug Administration) is a U.S. government agency responsible for regulating food safety, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, cosmetics, and tobacco products to ensure public health. The EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) focuses on protecting human health and the environment by enforcing regulations related to air and water quality, hazardous waste, and chemical safety. Both agencies play crucial roles in safeguarding public health and the ecosystem through scientific research and regulatory oversight.
