 * 1) The Clean Air Act was passed in 1963. Amendment Years 1965,**1970,** 1977, **1990**
 * 2) International and Federal Law (United States, Canada, United Kingdom, New Zealand
 * 3) The Clean Air Act is a piece of legislation relating to the reduction of airborne contaminants, smog, and air pollution in general both in America and around the world. It needed to be passed because at the time clean air wasn’t something that was being looked into or researched. This act gave money to scientists to find new solutions of how this environmental problem could be solved. In 1970 this act had a major amendment add some new things such as establishing National Ambient Air Quality Standards. Also two other revisions included the Primary and Secondary Standards as well as the Leaded Gasoline Phasedown. Then things were running smoothly until in 1990 once again the government amended this act once again. This time it was decided that Phase 1 and 2 along with compliance methods needed to be added on. One big thing this changed was the use of leaded gas was no longer aloud at gas stations and unleaded only was now to be used.
 * 4) The act was a success and and since it was passed toxic lead has decreased by 98%. Also sulfur dioxide dropped by 35% and carbon monoxide fumes by 32%. But even though all these things happen that doesn’t make us completely clean and America still has some dirty air around the country.
