Cleaning America’s Air presents a brief but broad examination of the Clean Air Act of 1970—arguably the most significant piece of environmental legislation ever passed by the U.S. Congress—and some of the major policy and environmental milestones since its passage thirty-six years ago. The book’s contributors comprise a group of renowned policymakers, environmental regulators,and scientists. Former Vice President Al Gore advances a compelling case for reducing greenhouse gas emissions to curb global climate change. Former Republican Senator Howard Baker reflects on his remarkable collaboration with Democratic Senator Ed Muskie in drafting the act, which launched the U.S. environmental movement. Scientist Paul Gilman presents the latest scientific data pertaining to air pollution and its effects on the human body. Dale Ditmanson and Jim Renfro of Great Smoky Mountains National Park explore the destructive effects of pollution on the country’s most visited national park. Other contributors include Leon Billings, Senator Muskie’s chief of staff; Milton Russell, former EPA assistant administrator; TVA chairman Bill Baxter; and Betsy Child, former commissioner of the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation. Accompanied by numerous full-color photographs by Senator Howard Baker, this sweeping examination of the Clean Air Act presents a usable history, detailing the substantial progress achieved in controlling target pollutants, future targets, and the current state of science regarding America’s air quality.

Noting that children may be affected by environmental contaminants in ways quite different from the way adults are affected, this report is the second on trends in measures reflecting environmental factors that may affect the U.S. children's health and well-being. A list of measures and key findings begins the report, followed by five main sections. Several measures throughout the report are analyzed by children's race/ethnicity and family income. Section 1 presents measures showing incidence of exposure to critical concentrations of contaminants in outdoor air, indoor air, water, food, and soil. Section 2 presents measures of lead, mercury, and cotinine (marker of environmental tobacco smoke exposure) measured in the bodies of children and women. Section 3 presents trends in asthma, other severe respiratory illnesses, childhood cancers, and neurodevelopmental disorders such as attention deficit/ hyperactivity disorder and mental retardation. Section 4 concerns the emerging issues of mercury in fish and attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Section 5 presents data specific to California and Minnesota. The final section of the report discusses improvements in the measures and data sources and new measures for inclusion in future reports. Major findings presented in the report include declines throughout the 1990s in the percentage of days with unhealthy air quality, median blood lead levels for children under 5, and median blood levels of cotinine; and overall increases in the percentage of children with asthma. The frequency of new childhood cancer cases has been stable since 1990. Recent data indicate that .6 percent of children are diagnosed with mental retardation and 6.7 percent of children are diagnosed with attention deficit/ hyperactivity disorder. State data revealed that 32 percent of California public elementary schools have deterioration of lead-based paint, and 47 percent of Minnesota schools sprayed pesticides in classrooms. A glossary of terms completes the report. Four appendices include data tables and a list of environmental health objectives in the Energy Protection Agency's strategic plan. Each report section contains references. (KB).

America's air quality is better today than ever before in modern history and continues to steadily improve. How did this remarkable turnaround come about? Basing his conclusions on a painstaking compilation of long-term empirical data on air quality and emissions data extending from the pre- federalization era to the present (some dating back a century), Goklany challenges the orthodoxy that credits federal regulation for improving air quality. He shows that the air had been getting cleaner prior to—and probably would have continued to improve regardless of—federalization. States and localities, after all, have always been engaged in a race to improve the quality of life, which means different things at different stages of economic development. Goklany’s empirical data refute once and for all the race-to-the-bottom rationale for centralized federal regulation. Moreover, technological advances and consumer preferences continue to play important roles in improving air quality. Goklany accordingly offers a regulatory reform agenda that would improve upon the economic efficiency and environmental sensitivity of air quality regulation.
