Which entity regulates pesticide and environmental issues at the federal level?

The FDA
The EPA
WSDA
Department of Agriculture

The correct answer is: The EPA

The EPA, or Environmental Protection Agency, is responsible for regulating pesticide and environmental issues at the federal level. The FDA, or Food and Drug Administration, is mainly responsible for regulating food and drug safety. The WSDA, or Washington State Department of Agriculture, only regulates pesticide use at the state level. The Department of Agriculture also regulates pesticides, but on a more localized level for agricultural practices, rather than at the federal level. Therefore, the EPA is the most appropriate entity for regulating pesticide and environmental issues at the federal level.
