Congress and Air Pollution

by Christopher J. Bailey

Christopher Bailey provides the first comprehensive study of the evolution of American air pollution control laws. Drawing upon a wealth of new data, as well as the author's own experience as a Congressional Fellow of the American Political Science Association, the book explores the timing and shape of congressional efforts to control air pollution. Authoritative, wide-ranging yet extremely accessible, the volume fills a gap in the literature and will be of interest to students, scholars and researchers of environmental and legislative politics.
