Abstract
On the 30th of December 1970, the President signed the Clean Air Act of 1970 which constitutes the basis of air pollution control regulations as they are being developed. This provided that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) should issue national ambient air standards, which was done on April 30, 1971. These provided nationwide standards for particulate matter, sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen, hydrocarbons, and photochemical oxidants. The last two arising from coatings solvents are the two of concern to the coatings industry.
