Center for Biological Diversity v. Regan

Three environmental groups filed a complaint in the federal district court for the Northern District of California seeking to compel EPA “to complete a thorough review of the air quality criteria and National Ambient Air Quality Standards (‘NAAQS’) for nitrogen oxides (‘NOx’)” and to modify the air quality criteria and NAAQS as appropriate. Their complaint alleged that NOx emissions contributed to a variety of public health problems, including by playing a role in global climate change.
