This book argues that Washington, D.C.'s 30-year regulatory war against air pollution has done little to improve air quality.
America's air quality is better today than ever before in modern history and continues to steadily improve. How did this remarkable turnaround come about? Basing his conclusions on a painstaking compilation of long-term empirical data on air quality and emissions data extending from the pre-federalization era to the present (some dating back a century), Goklany challenges the orthodoxy that credits federal regulation for improving air quality.
