Question

A company manufactures a chemical which acts as a strong chemical solvent. The chemical has a negative impact on the environment and human health when non properly disposed of. In order to be in compliance with the cradle to grave' tracking expectations of the federal government, the company must most clearly understand and abide by which law to track the manufacture and disposal of this chemical? A) Clean Air Act B) Clean Water Act Safe Drinking Water Act D) Resource Conservation and Recovery Act​

Answer 1

D) Resource Conservation and Recovery Act​

Step-by-step explanation:

The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act​ of 1976 was passed to ensure that the processes involved from the generation to the disposal of hazardous wastes are properly managed and meet up to health and environmental standards. The cradle represents the generation of the wastes while the grave represents the disposal of the wastes.

The company generating the hazardous waste is also responsible for other processes such as the transportation, treatment and storage of the waste.
