California Air Pollution Control Act
The California Air Pollution Control Act was passed in 1947 which authorized the creation of air pollution control districts in every county of the state. In 1967, the California Air Resources Board (ARB) was created when the Mulford-Carrell Air Resources Act was passed merging the California Motor Vehicle Pollution Control Board and the Bureau of Air Sanitation and its Laboratory. Since 1947, many other state and local regulations have been enacted that control air quality in California. Visit the ARB’s website to obtain the text of these regulations.
