Clean Air Act §202

CAA §202(a) allows EPA to prescribe standards for air pollutants from mobile sources that may cause or contribute to air pollution that endangers public health or welfare. EPA has used this authority to set per-vehicle nitrous oxide and methane standards for light duty passenger vehicles as well as heavy-duty vehicles. Mobile sources, however, make up only approximately 4% of national nitrous oxide emissions.
