The Clean Air Act is a federal law designed to control air pollution nationwide. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is required to develop and enforce the regulations to protect the general public from exposure to air pollutants that are known to be dangerous to human health. The 1963 law established a basic research program, which was expanded in 1967. The main changes to the law, which require regulatory controls of air pollution, were promulgated in 1970, 1977 and 1990.
In the 1990 amendment, provisions were added to deal with acid rain, depletion of the ozone layer and toxic air pollution; a program of national permissions of fixed sources was established. Also new requirements were established for the reformulation of gasoline, the adjustment of Reid Vapor Pressure (RVP), which measures the volatility of gasoline; and the norms to control the evaporation emissions of the gasoline.
