NRDC has released a brief titled “Clearing the Air: The Benefits of the Clean Air Act” to explore the public health and economic benefits of the Clean Air Act. Previously, NRDC commissioned Industrial Economics, Inc. to create a report, “The Benefits and Costs of US Air Pollution Regulations.” The findings of that report were summarized and contextualized in their recent brief. The brief itself examines the attacks on the Clean Air Act from the current administration while highlighting the benefits the Act has had.
