Module 7: Regulatory Requirements
The regulations involved in air pollution control are often complex, extensive, and continuously changing. This Module introduces the major types of regulations that have been promulgated or proposed to control air pollution emissions. Most of these regulations are based on the statutory authority included in the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments (1990 CAAA). Regulations covered under each Title of the 1990 CAAA are discussed in this Module.
