Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Clean Air Act requires major sources of hazardous air pollutants to meet specific emission standards. If Creosote Inc.'s plant emits hazardous air pollutants above the EPA's set maximum levels and does not use equipment to reduce its emissions, it is in violation of the Clean Air Act. The Act applies to both mobile and stationary sources, and there are no exemptions for major sources that do not use emission reduction equipment.
