clean air acts
Smog-fighting laws
Clean air acts are environmental laws enacted by governments to regulate air pollution and protect public health.
The United States Clean Air Act, first passed in 1963 and significantly strengthened in 1970 and 1990, establishes national air quality standards and limits emissions from industrial sources and vehicles.
Similar legislation exists in other countries, all sharing the goal of reducing harmful pollutants like smog, particulate matter, and greenhouse gases.
The clean air acts have dramatically reduced acid rain and improved urban air quality.
