Clean Air Act By: Emily Garcia

Background From 1948 to 1952, the country became aware of an overwhelming amount of smog and air pollution throughout the nation and the world. –Danora, PA experienced 20 deaths and 6,000 illnesses (out of a 12,000 person population) in 1948 due to a thick cloud. Began in 1963, with funding established for the study and cleanup of air pollution –Had little federal response until Congress passed the stronger law in 1970 From 1948 to 1952, the country became aware of an overwhelming amount of smog and air pollution throughout the nation and the world. –Danora, PA experienced 20 deaths and 6,000 illnesses (out of a 12,000 person population) in 1948 due to a thick cloud. Began in 1963, with funding established for the study and cleanup of air pollution –Had little federal response until Congress passed the stronger law in 1970

Background cont… 1970 (Nixon)- Congress not only passed the stronger law, but created the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) –Congress gave EPA the primary role in carrying out the law (Bush)- Congress revised and expanded the law, giving the EPA even more authority to implement and enforce regulations reducing air pollutant emissions (Nixon)- Congress not only passed the stronger law, but created the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) –Congress gave EPA the primary role in carrying out the law (Bush)- Congress revised and expanded the law, giving the EPA even more authority to implement and enforce regulations reducing air pollutant emissions.

Role of the EPA EPA sets limits on certain air pollutants, including setting limits on how much can be in the air anywhere in the United States This helps to ensure basic health and environmental protection from air pollution for all Americans. The act also gives EPA the authority to limit emissions of air pollutants coming from sources like chemical plants, utilities, and steel mills.

The States’ Role Individual states or tribes may have stronger air pollution laws, but they may not have weaker pollution limits than those set by EPA. –EPA must approve plans/laws set by states. EPA assists state, tribal, and local agencies by providing research, expert studies, engineering designs, and funding to support clean air progress. –Since 1970, Congress and the EPA have provided several billion dollars to other areas to accomplish this.

States’ Role Cont… Able to develop solutions for pollution problems that require special understanding of local industries, geography, housing, and travel patterns, as well as other factors. Monitor air quality, inspect facilities under their jurisdictions and enforce Clean Air Act regulations.

Enforcement EPA's civil, cleanup, and criminal enforcement programs work with the Department of Justice, state, and Tribal governments to take legal actions in both federal and state courts that bring polluters into compliance with federal environmental laws. The Agency emphasizes those actions that reduce the most significant risks to human health or the environment, and consults extensively with states and other stakeholders in determining risk-based priorities.

Interesting Facts Since –The 6 common air pollutants have decreased by over 50% –Air toxins from large industrial sources have reduced by nearly 70% –Production of most ozone- depleting chemicals has ceased. –new cars are more than 90 percent cleaner and will be even cleaner in the future Since –The 6 common air pollutants have decreased by over 50% –Air toxins from large industrial sources have reduced by nearly 70% –Production of most ozone- depleting chemicals has ceased. –new cars are more than 90 percent cleaner and will be even cleaner in the future
