Descriere completă

Pollution and Policy: A Case Essay on California and Federal Experience with Motor Vehicle Air Pollution, 1940-1975 offers a comprehensive examination of the evolution of air pollution control policies in California and their influence on federal environmental strategies. Beginning with the emergence of smog in Southern California in the 1940s, this book chronicles the identification of motor vehicles as a primary contributor to urban air pollution and the subsequent efforts to mitigate their impact. It delves into California's pioneering role in air quality management, including its groundbreaking measures to regulate vehicular emissions, which later became a model for federal policy. Through historical analysis, the book captures the interplay between technological advancements, legal frameworks, and institutional dynamics that shaped air pollution policy over three decades. This study not only highlights California's unique position as a testing ground for innovative pollution controls but also explores the broader implications of its policies on national standards. It examines the challenges of implementing effective environmental regulations within a layered federal system, focusing on the tensions between state and federal authorities and the resistance from industries like automotive manufacturing and oil refining. By combining historical narrative with policy analysis, Pollution and Policy provides valuable insights into the complexities of environmental governance, offering lessons that extend beyond motor vehicle pollution to inform a wide range of environmental and public policy issues. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1977.
