Hi, my name is Paul, an MPA student at Indiana University's School of Public & Environmental Affairs.


The Air Pollution Control Act of 1955 was the first federal legislation specifically addressing air pollution in the United States. The Act was designed to provide federal funds for research into the sources and potential impacts of domestic air pollution emissions. While the Act created no specific mechanisms to control the emissions from polluters, it stated unequivocally that air pollution was an important public health concern and that “[f]ederal financial assistance and leadership is essential for the development of cooperative Federal, State, regional, and local programs to prevent and control air pollution.”

The federal government first introduced automobile emission controls when Congress passed the Motor Vehicle control Act of 1965. The act gave the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (subsequently separated into the Department of Education and the Department of Health and Human Services in 1979) the authority to establish the first federally-mandated light duty vehicle emission standards. The act required a 72% reduction in hydrocarbon emissions, a 56% reduction in carbon monoxide emissions, and a complete elimination of crankcase hydrocarbon emissions for all light duty vehicles produced after 1968, using a 1963 base year. http://www.eoearth.org/article/Motor_Vehicle_Air_Pollution_Control_Act_of_1965,_United_States There are three primary types of emissions from motor vehicles that lack thorough pollution controls. Mobile Source Pollution Control – Arnold W. Reitze, Jr. p318

These emissions come from crankcase vapors, evaporative hydrocarbon losses, and gasoline exhaust emissions.

I saw the edit you made to emissions trading and I added some additional info for the references you gave (see here). You can do the same thing manually or with a special tool like Wikipedia:RefToolbar 2.0 which you can enable in your preferences under "gadgets". Protonk (talk) 18:44, 9 February 2011 (UTC)Reply
