Abstract
The goal of ensuring that all South Carolinians enjoy clean air is quite a challenge for the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control’s (SCDHEC) Air Program. While we continue to appreciate good air quality in South Carolina, changes in federal environmental standards and a growing population challenge our state to maintain clean air. This year’s publication focuses on a review of a decade (1990-2000) in South Carolina’s air quality. Looking over the past decade and highlighting significant trends and changes in air quality will help the public understand the positive impact and the continuous improvement made since 1990. Since the passage of the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments (CAAA), the Program has played an important role in maintaining attainment of national air quality standards in South Carolina. Over the past several years, the Program has undergone several organizational changes to better implement the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments. These changes are highlighted throughout this report.
