What did the Clean Air Act authorize the EPA to do?
A. Establish air quality standards for the protection of human health and the environment.
B. Establish U.S. air space so that no other country's pollution can impact our environment.
C. Reduce the number of flights allowed per day out of each airport.
D. Require everyone to stop smoking and to have annual emissions tests on their cars.

The Clean Air Act authorized the EPA to establish air quality standards to protect human health and the environment, implement regulations, and require state plans to maintain these standards. It does not address issues related to airspace or personal behaviors. Thus, the focus is on controlling pollution through regulatory measures. ;
