This is a trailer for the documentary film A GASP For Clean Air. Forty years ago, a public health crisis in Birmingham caused by unchecked air pollution motivated a group of young citizens and their allies to act. They organized and formed GASP (Greater Birmingham Alliance to Stop Pollution) and began to advocate for cleaning up the air. Inspired by the passage of the Clean Air Act, the first Earth Day and a desire for change, they succeeded in shaking up the seemingly impenetrable establishment and they paved the way for a healthier, cleaner community. For the 40th Anniversary of the Clean Air Act we honor the efforts and accomplishments of those who fought for healthy air forty years ago, and recognize there is still work to be done.

February 3, 2011 19:17 Clean Air Issues in the 112th Congress (PDF) Source: Congressional Research Service (via OpenCRS) Although air quality has improved substantially in the United States in the 40 years of EPA's Clean Air Act regulation, many issues remain unresolved, and, in recent months, members of Congress from both parties have raised questions regarding the cost-effectiveness of, and authority for, EPA actions. This report focuses on three general areas of likely interest to the 112th Congress: greenhouse gas (GHG) regulations, emissions from power plants (including interstate pollution and mercury emissions), and air quality standards. EPA regulatory actions on GHG emissions using existing Clean Air Act authority have been the main focus of congressional interest in clean air issues in recent months. Although the Obama Administration and EPA spokespersons have consistently said that they would prefer that Congress pass legislation to address climate change, EPA has begun to develop regulations using its existing authority. On December 15, 2009, the agency finalized an "endangerment finding" under Section 202 of the Clean Air Act, which requires it to regulate pollutants for their effect as greenhouse gases for the first time. Relying on this finding, EPA finalized GHG emission standards for cars and light trucks on April 1, 2010. The implementation of these standards will, in turn, trigger permitting requirements and the imposition of Best Available Control ...

The late 1960's proved to be the decisive period for air pollution amelioration efforts. The changes were radical and took place with amazing rapidity. Essentially, the general public itself become aware of and involved in the air pollution question and in the process changed the nature of the anti-pollution movement fundamentally and irrevocably. Public opinion shifted dramatically during the 1960's. Polls showed that air pollution was a minor problem (number 9 of 10 listed national problems) in 1965 but had become the most important problems in the public mind by 1970 (The New York Times 1969). The new attention on environmentalism was triggered by many events: the publication of Rachael Carson's influential Silent Spring, Senator Edward Muskie's 1964 Committee hearings on air pollution around the US and several well publicized ecological disasters. In 1966, some 80 people died in a four-day smog event in the New York City area. Legislation followed closely the wave of public interest. The 1963 Clean Air Act established national policy and set uniform standards for air quality. This was amended by the Air Quality Act of 1967, which set enforcement mandates for the earlier laws and established the National Air Pollution Control Administration that was tasked to enforce air quality standards and administer air pollution research programs. In 1969, the landmark National Environmentalist Protection Act (NEPA) was passed, whose purpose was "restoring and maintaining ...
