All 50 states are required to meet the National Ambient Air Quality Standards. If they don't meet them, they must file a State Implementation Plan showing strict schedules and control measures, that will result in meeting the standards by a certain time. States can impose strict emission controls on any pollution source in order to clean the air to acceptable levels.
