§ 40000 Local Air Pollution Control

• •Local and regional authorities are in charge of controlling air pollution from sources like factories and buildings.
• •The state board is responsible for controlling air pollution from cars and other motor vehicles.
• •This law was updated in 1975.

A factory is releasing a lot of smoke into the air.

The local government is responsible for making sure the factory stops polluting the air. But if a car is releasing too much smoke, the state board has to handle that.
