The 1970 Clean Air Act policy used command and control regulations to limit air pollution and aimed to reduce ambient levels of air pollutants below the primary standard levels. The policy focused on controlling six primary pollutants: carbon monoxide, lead, nitrogen dioxide, ozone, particulate matter, and sulfur dioxide. It did not address the issue of secondary air pollutants. The policy did not use a pollution tax or attempt to regulate air pollution at the level of the consumer.
