ANSWER: The resulting Clean Air Act of 1970 made EPA directly responsible for establishing limits on air pollutants and enforcing them. ... The agency eased into clean air issues slowly in order to give researchers time to do their work before legislative deadlines forced Ruckelshaus to promulgate air quality standards.
