The greatest success in U.S. environmental policy has been in reducing air pollution. The Clean Air Act, passed in 1963 and strengthened in subsequent years, has led to significant reductions in harmful pollutants such as lead, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen oxides. The result has been improved air quality and public health benefits. While progress has been made in other areas such as renewable energy, biodiversity preservation, and wetlands preservation, none have seen the level of success that the Clean Air Act has achieved in reducing air pollution.
