United States Environmental Statutes and Rules

American federal environmental statutes and their rules: the Clean Air Act regulations, the Clean Water Act and the Toxic Substances Control Act on chemicals in commerce. A regulation belongs here when its cited article describes a United States federal environmental or chemical law. It excludes European and treaty rules. Rules made under these statutes by the Environmental Protection Agency are admitted with the statutes, since the subcategory counts the regulation and its parent act as one subject.
