Preface; Acknowledgments; List of Abbreviations; Introduction; CHAPTER ONE: Regulating Air Pollution: Risk- and Technology-Based Paradigms; CHAPTER TWO: "Command and Control": Means, Ends, and Democratic Regulation; CHAPTER THREE: Regulating "Noxious Vapours": From Aldred's Case to the Alkali Act; CHAPTER FOUR: On the "Police State" and the "Common Law State"; CHAPTER FIVE: From Richards's Appeal to Boomer: Judicial Responses to Air Pollution, 1869-1970; CHAPTER SIX: "Inspected Smoke": The Perpetual Mobilization Regime; CHAPTER SEVEN: "Odors," Nuisance, and the Clean Air Act.

Most importantly, this continuity is evident in the centrality of risk-based standards within contemporary American air pollution regulatory policy. Under the Eu.
