THE COST OF CLEAN AIR

This report to Congress, submitted in accordance with the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1970, presents projections of the costs and the results of governmental and private efforts to carry out provisions of the Act. The sources of air pollution are broadly divided into three groups: transportation sources, power sources, and production or industrial sources. Projections for each of these groups are presented in separate chapters of this report. As in previous reports, national cost estimates are presented for governmental programs and for control of sources of air pollution. Estimates of costs, benefits, and impacts reported herein are based, insofar as possible, upon actual regulations adopted by the states in implementation plans submitted to EPA.
