• The clean air act was established after the Air
  Pollution Control Act of 1955 funded the surgeon
  general to research the impact of pollution on
  human health. These studies made the government
  more aware of the growing problems and health
  hazards of polluted air which led to the act.
  The Clean Air Act of 1953 Authorized the
  development of a national program that addressed
  environmental problems related to air pollution
  as well as research into techniques to minimize
  air pollution. However successful this may have
  been, it still did not address the large and
  growing problem of motor vehicle pollution, which
  was later included in the Acts amendments.
• EPA (Environmental Protection agency) was
  responsible for regulation and enforcement.
