`Facing the New Emission Standards for Hydrochloric Acid Pickling,` presented at the SUR
Introduction Under the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments (CAAA), U.S. EPA is required to regulate sources of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs). Primarily, HAP emissions are regulated through National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAPs), which are codified under Title 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 63. NESHAPs address HAP emissions from a particular process, such as ...
