Shortening the lives of about 30,000 people a year, triggering more than 170,000 asthma attacks, and sending thousands of people to the hospital are only of a few of the major effects of air pollution. They are only the beginning of the list of reasons why we need to improve the large amount of pollutants that enter the air each day from power plants, motor vehicles, etc (epa). The introduction of the Clean Air Act of 1990 is the most efficient solution to these serious problems.
The Clean Air Act of 1990 will improve air quality in the United States, which is a good thing for our health, our property, and especially our environment. The Act is the most recent version of a law first passed in 1970. It imposes the most stringent hazardous air pollution emissions requirements yet known to man. It holds many features that function only to improve the air quality throughout the United States including state implementation programs, interstate and international air pollution, permits, enforcement, deadlines, public participation, and different approaches for reducing air pollution (epa).
Before we discuss the features of the Clean Air Act we as individuals need to know why we should be concerned about air pollution. Air pollution can make us sick; it can cause burning of the eyes and nose, and affect breathing.
