Answer

The six pollutants regulated under the clean air act are;

• Carbon monoxide

• Ground-level ozone

• Lead

• Nitrogen oxides

• Particulate matter

• Sulfur dioxide

Step-by-step explanation

According to the Clean Air Act (CAA) it requires the Environmental Protection Agency to set National Ambient Air quality standards. These standards are primarily set for human health and secondary for protection of the public welfare including effects on vegetation crops, and infrastructure. Some of the methods employed to reduce air pollution include control technologies and control measures.
