Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Clean Air Act of 1970 is a federal law that authorizes the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to establish regulations to control air pollution from sources that affect air quality across multiple states. This includes emissions from power plants and other industrial facilities. The EPA sets national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) and implements programs to reduce pollution and improve air quality in areas designated as nonattainment. States are also required to develop State Implementation Plans (SIPs) to achieve and maintain compliance with NAAQS.
