Giải thích
The Clean Air Act penalty in 42 U.S.C. §7413(b) is adjusted for inflation every year; 40 CFR §19.4 sets it at $124,426 per day, per violation, for penalties assessed on or after January 8, 2025. Older study guides still print $37,500, which is the pre-2016 figure. $500 per day and $100 total badly understate the risk, and 'no monetary penalties' is simply false. EPA may also pay an award to a person whose information leads to a penalty.
