How does Congress regulate allowed air pollution in 1 page?

Probably 10x more effectively than how we're addressing air pollution now.
The federal government would establish maximum thresholds from top health professionals, and then declare that states shall maintain air quality below that threshold or face x outcome. Seems it would fit on half a page... How to achieve the standards would be up to state and local government to determine how best to achieve those standards.
You'd have a bill for each type of pollutant of concern. If revised standards need to be implemented, the new bill either amends the previous one, or replaces it entirely.
That reminds me of how ineffective my previous boss was because he would list a very precise set of steps to take and leave out the objective. Customers would call back asking why things went terribly, and I'd just have to say I wasn't informed of the objective, and would have done differently had I known.
The federal government needs to be as broad and general as possible, which is why laws should fit on an 8.5"x11" page easily. Failure to do so indicates they are overreaching and creating inefficiency. Let the people near to the problem solve it.
