Environmental Protection Agency (EPA): 1990 Clean Air Act Most of us are familiar with large oil spills, hazardous waste, and materials, and certainly we understand the need for clean air. This is perhaps the EPA’s major problem to solve. Clean air is easy to talk about but difficult to control or make cleaner. Understanding the problem can go a long way toward educating people about air quality and why it’s so important. The Clean Air Act is a comprehensive Federal law that regulates air emissions from area, stationary, and mobile sources. This law authorizes the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to establish National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) to protect public health and the environment.
