Abstract | The General Accounting Office (GAO) made this review because prior audits of air pollution control programs indicated that enforcement of air pollution control laws and regulations was lacking. GAO assessed federal and state enforcement in seven States--Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Massachusetts, New Jersey, North Carolina, and West Virginia. State and local governments have been primarily responsible for abating and controlling air pollution from stationary sources, such as industrial smoke stacks and municipal incinerators. Generally the Federal Government has acted only when the States fail to act or request assistance. |
