Which Federal Agency Registers Disinfectants?

The answer is the EPA. It's the federal agency responsible for registering every disinfectant sold and used in the United States.

OSHA, the Department of Labor, and the CDC all play real roles in workplace safety and public health, but disinfectant registration specifically belongs to the EPA, because disinfectants are legally classified as pesticides. That's a specific-agency fact worth knowing cold for the exam.
