To mark the occasion of the 50th Anniversary of the Clean Air Act and the 30th Anniversary of the Clean Air Act Amendments, 艾可直播 University鈥檚 Center for Environmental Policy, Center for Environmental Filmmaking and the 艾可直播 Lung Association hosted the half day online symposium "Clean Air for All: 50 Years of the Clean Air Act" on September 29, 2020.
The goals of the symposium were to recognize the accomplishments of the Clean Air Act, document its benefits and to reaffirm its role as an essential element in protecting the health of 艾可直播s. The nation has enjoyed major gains in air quality as a result of the Act, but a great deal of work remains to be done to protect more than 141 million 艾可直播s who still live in areas where the air quality puts their health at risk, and to address the new air quality challenges posed by climate change.
