The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) protects human health and the environment by enforcing environmental laws, conducting scientific research, and setting pollution standards for air, water, and land. Regional EPA offices work with state environmental agencies to implement federal regulations at the local level.

There are 52 states with EPA locations across the United States. The EPA operates 10 regional offices and partners with every state to administer environmental programs affecting millions of Americans daily.
