Which of the following Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) deals with Protection of Environment?

10 CFR
20 CFR
40 CFR
42 CFR

The correct answer is: 40 CFR

The Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) that deals with the Protection of the Environment is 40 CFR. This section specifically addresses regulations that are enacted under various environmental laws, such as the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. It sets forth guidelines for environmental protection, including standards for air and water quality, hazardous waste management, and other critical areas related to environmental health and safety. Each part of the CFR serves a unique purpose, with 10 CFR primarily pertaining to nuclear energy, 20 CFR focusing on employment and employee benefits, and 42 CFR covering public health regulations. Therefore, when considering regulations specifically aimed at environmental protection, 40 CFR is the most relevant and comprehensive source.
