Several key regulations play a role in protecting neonatal health:
1. Clean Air Act (CAA): This regulation aims to control air pollution on a national level, reducing the presence of harmful pollutants such as carbon monoxide, lead, and particulate matter. 2. Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA): Ensures the safety of public drinking water supplies, limiting contaminants that can affect neonatal health. 3. Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA): Regulates the introduction of new or already existing chemicals, ensuring they do not pose unreasonable risks to health or the environment. 4. Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA): Governs the disposal of solid and hazardous waste, reducing the risk of exposure to toxic substances.
