§ 41233 Mojave Air Quality Regulations

• •The Mojave Desert area can make rules to keep the air clean.
• •These rules can limit things that cause pollution, even if they don't directly pollute (like big parking lots that make more cars idle).
• •The rules help stop bad air from spreading over a big area.

A big new shopping mall is built in the Mojave Desert, and lots of cars drive there every day.

The mall itself doesn’t pollute, but all the cars driving there do. The Mojave Desert can make rules, like limiting how big parking lots can be, to keep the air clean.
