Question 3 • Career Explorations II

Which of the following events would fall under the EPA’s jurisdiction?

Answer
A
A farmer was discovered using a banned pesticide.
B
A farmer is interested in turning part of his land into a wind farm.
C
A shipment of tainted beef was recently imported from Europe.
D
A new drug on the market was reported to cause heart failure.

Explanation

The EPA regulates pesticides and enforces laws governing their use, including bans on pesticides that pose risks to people or the environment. Therefore, discovering a farmer using a banned pesticide falls under the EPA’s jurisdiction. Wind-farm development, imported beef safety, and drug safety are generally handled by other agencies.
