Scenarios about 'clean air act'
The Clean Air Act refers to landmark environmental legislation first passed in the United States in 1963 and significantly expanded in 1970 and 1990, establishing comprehensive federal and state regulations to limit air pollution. It empowered the Environmental Protection Agency to set national air quality standards, regulate emissions from industrial facilities and motor vehicles, and address acid rain, toxic air pollutants, and ozone depletion. In alternate history scenarios, different implementations or absence of this legislation could dramatically alter environmental conditions, public health outcomes, and industrial development patterns across North America.
