State and local clean air agencies deliver air quality improvements by working together with communities, companies, elected leaders, and civic organizations to carry out the programs that cut emissions and improve public health and prosperity. Whether it’s developing and implementing state plans, deploying air pollution monitors, helping small businesses comply with the law, or enforcing regulations that protect the public, state and local air pollution agencies work around the clock to improve air quality everywhere. And by working with our EPA partners, we’ve seen terrific success! While more work remains to be done to protect clean air for all, since Congress passed the Clean Air Act in 1970, air pollution has dropped sharply while the economy has grown.
