Introduction

EPA aims at keeping environment clean from hazardous substances in our environment . Its clients are the population of United Sates specifically and the rest of world globally . There are many people associated and employed including researchers , scientists , doctors , PhDs , masters of biotechnology , microbiology , biochemistry and marine biology etc . It is a governmental owned agency working to protect health of people by striving to keep environment clean . EPA is working to clean air from the following hazardous materials . These

include , smoke , acid Rain asbestos , Beaches , hazardous Waste , lead , mercury , mold , oil Spills pesticides , radon , wastes A report from Environmental Protection Agency states that environmental air of United States is 100 contaminated with hazardous carcinogenic chemical produced from industries , which exceeds the safety level mark recommend by EPA . According to EPA estimate there are 148 industrial poisons in 60 , 803 census tracts (EPA This toxic concentration of outdoor air also penetrates and equally contaminates indoor air to somewhat same extent and is equally hazardous . Working in closed environment with air conditioner `ON ' does not protect us from this danger because contaminated air gradually penetrates into the indoor air through windows and doors

In addition , different types of chemicals in the environment jointly produce adverse effects and everyone is exposed to these simultaneously which exaggerates danger to cancerous diseases . These chemicals have saturated the air to the extent that they have broke the standards set by EPA and are producing unsafe health effects , though no such standards were set to study its effects on specific malfunctioning of the body Though , EPA has listed up to eight dangerous chemical pollutants but now exposure is much more severe and has reached threatening level that each of us is exposed to numerous industrial poisons more than just eight listed by EPA . These toxicants carcinogens are devastating

EPA suit against Raymark Industries

EPA d a case against Raymark Industries because they were actively involved in asbestos brake manufacturing

EPA d suit against Raymark Industries , Inc . a former asbestos brake manufacturer in Stratford , Connecticut , to recoup 200 million in past and future federal cleanup costs of polluted soils at the facility and other locations where contamination has spread . The suit also seeks to force the judicial sale of the Raymark property so that redevelopment efforts at the site can be realized . Raymark is a federal Superfund site (EPA Release 1997

Most dangerous types of environmental contaminants are Pesticides including insect killers , weed , fungi and rodent control killers and fumigants

Electrical and magnetic lines produced from electromagnetic devices like mobile phones and other electrical devices may have carcinogenic effect However , increasing distance with such devices , reducing time spent within EMF fields will make its effects minimal

Asbestos , which is mostly used for fire extinguishers and construction material may increase risk to lung cancer with exposure to long period of time . Extreme care should be taken for use of such dangerous chemicals . It is important to seal off the...
