This is an installment of our State of Environmental Protection series. This series utilizes public data from the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to evaluate the current state of our environment and recent trends over time, as well as claims and assumptions behind attacks on federal environmental justice, science, and health. We investigate the progress made since the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, and numerous other environmental laws were put into effect during the 1970s.
