North Carolina Air Quality Planning - Rules & Regulations

Under the Clean Air Act (CAA), EPA sets limits on certain air pollutants, including setting limits on how much can be in the air anywhere in the United States. The Clean Air Act also gives EPA the authority to limit emissions of air pollutants coming from sources like chemical plants, utilities, and steel mills. 

Title 40 is the section of the CFR that deals with EPA's mission of protecting human health and the environment.
