What does the Environmental Protection and Enhancement Act (E.P.E.A.) control?

Explanation:
Environmental Protection and Enhancement Act focuses on protecting the environment from pesticide risks by regulating activities throughout the pesticide’s life cycle. It covers sale, use, application, handling, storage, transport, and disposal of pesticides in Alberta, aiming to prevent environmental contamination and exposure to people and wildlife. Other areas like label design and packaging standards, advertising and marketing, or import/export licensing are controlled by different regulations or federal programs, not primarily by this act. So the lifecycle scope described is the aspect that EPEA governs.
