Treating and controlling pollution is essential to maintaining a clean and healthy environment. EPA works with state agencies, industry, environmental groups, and other interested groups to reduce the amount of pollutants entering the air, water, and land. The Agency has many programs, such as water quality criteria and standards, air emission standards, and the superfund program, that help control pollution and assist in treating and cleaning up polluted sites. The Agency promotes the use of innovative technologies to reduce pollution.
