This informative nonfiction book gives young readers an in-depth look at the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), examining the people, responsibilities, and policies behind this important federal agency. Beginning with the EPA's establishment in 1970, the book explains how the agency became involved in protecting human health and the environment and explores the work it performs within the U.S. government.

It also examines significant controversies and challenges the EPA has encountered, helping readers understand that environmental regulation often involves complex scientific, political, and public-policy decisions. As part of the Agents of Government series, the book provides an accessible introduction to environmental protection, government agencies, public policy, environmental regulation, and the role of the federal government in addressing environmental issues.
