CURRENT SURVEY OF FEDERAL AIR QUALITY CONTROL LEGISLATION AND REGULATIONS

After a brief discussion of the historical development of federal legislation in the field of air quality, this article analyzes in detail the law as a result of the Clean Air Amendments of 1970. Both stationary and mobile sources as well as fuels are covered. The analysis demonstrates a sufficiently comprehensive scheme insofar as the legal framework is concerned. Assuming that the relevant government entities provide the requisite funding and personnel, it appears that the present governmental commitment should be more than enough to cope with the problem.
