The Clean Air Act requires the EPA to set US National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for the six CAPs.

The primary standards are designed to protect the health of 'sensitive' populations such as asthmatics, children, and the elderly.

The enforcement of these standards is designed to prevent further degradation of air quality. States may set their own ambient standards, so long as they are lower than the national standard. [21]
The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) are air pollution standards issued by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The standards, authorized by the Clean Air Act, are for pollutants not covered by the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) that may cause an increase in fatalities or in serious, irreversible, or incapacitating illness.
The Air Quality Act of 1967 (Pub.

Air Quality Law 188(I)/2002; Air Quality Law (Air Pollution by Ozone) Regulations P.I. 530/2002; Air Quality Law (Amendment) Law 53(I)/2004; Air Quality Law (Annual Emission Ceilings for Certain Atmospheric Pollutants) Regulations P.I. 193/2004; Air Quality Law (Limit Values for Benzene and Carbon Monoxide in Ambient Air) Regulations P.I. 516/2002
The act did not set air quality standards, but did provide for national guidance to be developed. This resulted in the promulgation of New Zealand's National Environmental Standards for Air Quality in 2004 with subsequent amendments. [28]
The standards for determining whether an area is in "attainment" (compliance) or "non-attainment" (non-compliance) for six major pollutants are the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). These are required by law to be reviewed every five years, as new scientific information becomes available on the health and property impacts of ...
