Clean Air Act - This U.S. law regulates air emissions from stationary and mobile sources to ensure that air quality meets health and safety standards. REACH Regulation - An EU regulation that addresses the production and use of chemical substances and their potential impacts on both human health and the environment. Kyoto Protocol - An international treaty that commits its parties to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, based on the premise that global warming exists and human-made CO2 emissions have caused it.
