Legal regulations are one very effective way to ensure that all possible measures are taken to prevent air pollution. The government sets regulations that prevent individuals and businesses from doing anything that can cause air pollution if it is not absolutely necessary. These regulations also help to reduce pollution in the cases where the polluting activity can not be avoided.
