RCRA stands for which environmental act?

• A. Graphite Furnace Atomic Absorption Spectronomy
• B. Chain Of Custody
• C. Lead-Based Paint Poisoning Prevention Act
• D. Resource Conservation and Recovery Act

Answer: (D)

RCRA is the federal law that governs how solid and hazardous waste is managed from cradle to grave—covering generation, transportation, treatment, storage, and disposal—to protect human health and the environment. The acronym stands for Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, which is exactly what the question asks for. The other options refer to unrelated concepts: a laboratory technique, a sample-tracking process, and a different act addressing lead paint in housing. So the correct choice is the one that names Resource Conservation and Recovery Act.
