 California,
1943. The mysterious haze called smog was getting worse - burning eyes,
searing throats, literally choking the life out of Californians. The video,
Clearing California Skies tells the story of how concerned citizens, top
scientists, and local and state government agencies fought back. It took the
best science and engineering to control smog forming emissions from
factories, shops, incinerators, and the automobile. Despite meteoric
population gains, (more factories, more cars, more trucks) - air quality has
improved dramatically over the past 50 years, and along the way California
emerged as a world leader in the battle against air pollution.This video was produced by
the California Air Resources Board (CARB). More information can be
found on CARB's website.
