History

A&WMA was founded in June 1907 by a group of smoke inspectors in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Its original name was the International Association for the Prevention of Smoke,[2] and its name was subsequently changed several times to reflect changes in its members' interests.[3] Specifically, it was renamed the Smoke Prevention Association of America in 1915, the Air Pollution Control Association in 1950, and obtained its current name in 1988.[4][5]
