Summary: The 1955 Air Pollution Control Act
The 1955 A.P.C.A. provided funding for research of air pollution. The Clean Air Act of 1963 was the 1st designed to control air pollution. The 1955 Air Pollution Control Act was the 1st U.S. federal law that focused on air pollution.
The Clean Air Act accomplished this by setting up a federal program within the U.S. Public Health Service & allowing research into techniques for monitoring & controlling air pollution. It was 1st amended in 1965, by the Motor Vehicle Air Pollution, which authorized the federal government to set required standards for controlling the emission of pollutants for certain automobiles, beginning with 1968 models. A 2nd amendment, the Air Quality Act of 1967, gave the government the ability to do even more they had put monitoring stations were set up to collect research. (www.epa.org)
The 1967 act also authorized & expanded studies of air pollutant emission inventories, ambient monitoring techniques, & control techniques. Also, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was established on December 2nd, 1970 for the purpose of building up a welled connected research, monitoring & standard-setting & enforcement activities into 1 agency that ensures environmental protection.

to include a provision for citizen suits. Congress passed the 1st legislation to address air pollution with the 1955 Air Pollution Control Act that provided funds to the U.S. Public Health service, but did not develop pollution regulation. However, the Clean Air Act in 1963, created a research & administrative program in the U.S. Public Health Service. This certain act authorized development of emission standards for stationary sources, but not mobile sources of air pollution. The 1967 Air Quality Act (A.Q.A) Enforced interstate air pollution standards & authorized atmospheric monitoring studies & stationary source
