The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issues a daily report for pollution levels known as the Air Quality Index (AQI). The AQI provides information on the quality of air in different regions, indicating how polluted the air currently is or how polluted it is forecast to become. It categorizes pollution levels into ranges that correspond to potential health effects for the general public and sensitive groups. This helps individuals make informed decisions about outdoor activities based on air quality.

In the United States, the federal executive agency that is supposed to support the environment is the Environmental Protection Agency. Each state has an agency with a similar responsibility and a different but similar name.In other countries, the agency is often called something like "Ministry of the Environment."
Every level of government has some department or agency that deals with pollution. At the federal level, the primary agency in the United States is the Environmental Protection Agency, but numerous other agencies are also involved in dealing with pollution to some extent. For example, the Department of the Interior is responsible for endangered species protection, through an agency called the US Fish and Wildlife Service. Pollution must be controlled to mitigate effects on endangered species. The Department of Commerce, through the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the National Marine Fisheries Service, is responsible for protecting our marine resources, which includes protection from pollution. Every state and local government, for the most part, also has some agency responsible for dealing with pollution. All of these agencies develop regulations to help deal with pollution, ideally in a cooperative fashion. But the truth of the matter is, pollution, not unlike lots of other problems the government deals with daily, is highly politicized. Often, the best actions for the environment from a scientific standpoint are not taken due to political considerations, and sometimes the best science is ingored completely. So the short answer to your question is, the government does a lot, but not nearly enough.

Environmental pollution caused by too much noise is called noise pollution.
Rachel Carson is called the "protector of planet Earth" because of her groundbreaking work in raising awareness about the harmful effects of pesticides, particularly through her book "Silent Spring." Her research and advocacy were instrumental in sparking the global environmental movement and leading to the establishment of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
I think that's called ' Environmental Science ' nowadays.

When people in an industrialized society contaminate the environment, the action is called pollution. This can involve the release of harmful substances into air, water, or soil, often as a result of industrial processes, waste disposal, or the use of chemicals. Pollution can have detrimental effects on ecosystems, human health, and the overall quality of life. Efforts to mitigate pollution often focus on regulation, sustainable practices, and environmental protection initiatives.
Environmental Sustainability
The applied science that focuses on the environmental effects of human activities is called environmental science. It is a multidisciplinary field that studies the interactions between humans and the environment to address issues such as pollution, resource management, and conservation.
