Pollution laws are regulations designed to protect the environment by controlling the release of harmful substances into air, water, and soil. These laws aim to reduce pollution from industries, vehicles, and other sources, ensuring that natural resources remain safe for public health and wildlife. Governments at various levels, including local, state, and federal, enforce these laws. For example, the Clean Air Act and Clean Water Act in the United States set standards for air and water quality. Violations of these laws can result in fines and other penalties, promoting compliance and environmental stewardship.
