Reductions in air pollution can be achieved by a variety of methods including pollution prevention, control technologies, and control measures, and may be implemented through regulatory, market-based or innovative programs.
The following categories identify example strategies for reducing ozone. Please follow the Web links below to view example voluntary and regulatory control measures taken by state, local and other organizations to reduce ozone.
