For clean air The Clean Air Act saves lives. Enacted in 1970, the Clean Air Act has succeeded in cutting unhealthy levels of air pollution throughout the country at a reasonable cost.
BANGOR - In recognition of the 40th anniversary of the Clean Air Act of 1970, advocates for public health and the environment on Tuesday raised the alarm about impending threats to the federal law's authority. At press conferences in Portland and Bangor, activists said Maine Sens. Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins must stand up to attacks in Congress against the Clean Air Act. Supporters say the act has prevented thousands of cases of respiratory disease and helped stem the flow of pollutants and climate-changing greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
In this relatively short period, Congress transformed the relationship between the federal government and both the economy and the rights of American minorities by enacting the modern era's central pieces of social legislation, including1 the Civil Rights Act,2 the Voting Rights Act,3 the Clean Air Act, and other watershed statutes.4 This transformation has waned significantly, however, over the next quarter century. In many ways, bargains between proponents and moderates compromise the proponents' goals, for example, by making exceptions, by restricting the scope of the legislation's coverage, or by creating cumbersome procedures.8 By hypothesis, proponents view these compromises as preferable to the status quo; if proponents did not, the legislation would simply fail.

The Clean Air Act saves lives. Enacted in 1970, the Clean Air Act has succeeded in cutting unhealthy levels of air pollution throughout the country at a reasonable cost. The South Coast Air Quality Management District has implemented rules to meet EPA standards in our air basin which have vastly improved the air quality in Whittier over the last 40 years.
When air and water pollution arrived on the U.S. political scene in the late 1960s as an issue in need of action, automobile tailpipes and smokestacks at American factories and mills were pretty much the targeted culprits. It is doubtful that the chief sponsor of the Clean Air Act of 1970, Sen. Edmund S. Muskie, D-Maine, or President Richard M. Nixon, who signed Muskie's bill, had any idea how much more eventually would need to be done - to protect the air as well as lakes, fish and entire food chain, ending with people.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 14 /U.S. Newswire/ -- America's air quality has dramatically improved since passage of the Clean Air Act in 1970, and continues to improve despite robust economic growth, yet nearly three-quarters of the American public believes air quality has either deteriorated or stayed the same, according to an August public opinion poll and a new study of government data released today. There's a clear disconnect between the nation's significant emission reduction progress and public perception," said William D. Fay, president of the Foundation for Clean Air Progress (FCAP), which commissioned the study and survey from Meszler Engineering Services and Wirthlin Worldwide, respectively.
