The primary purpose of CERCLA is to provide financial remedy for the cleanup of:

Mold spores are not classified as hazardous waste under CERCLA. While they can pose health risks, they are typically addressed through local building codes and health regulations rather than through federal environmental cleanup programs. CERCLA specifically targets hazardous substances that are harmful to human health and the environment.

Electromagnetic fields (EMFs) are not categorized as hazardous waste. While there are ongoing studies regarding the potential health impacts of EMFs, they do not fall under CERCLA’s jurisdiction for cleanup or remediation. The act focuses on physical contaminants rather than fields or radiation.

Naturally occurring radon is a radioactive gas that can accumulate in homes and is a health risk. However, it is not classified as hazardous waste under CERCLA, which primarily deals with contaminated sites that require extensive cleanup and remediation efforts. Radon issues are typically managed through public health initiatives rather than federal environmental cleanup programs.
