Air Programs
Air Programs address issues of air pollution from many different mobile sources such as cars, trucks, buses, and air planes as well as point sources such as factories, power plants, and dry cleaners. Air pollution can threaten the health of humans and animals, as well as trees, crops, and lakes. Air pollution can even damage the ozone layer that protects our planet. Air pollution also can cause haze, reducing visibility in national parks and wilderness areas. EPA protects human health and the environment through the regulatory process and voluntary programs. Under the Clean Air Act, EPA sets limits on how much of a pollutant is allowed in the Air. EPA's goal is to have clean air to breathe for this generation and those to follow.
