Description
State and federal regulations affecting hazardous air pollutants have produced an escalating dilemma for industrial facilities. While
struggling to remain competitive and in compliance with environmental regulations, industry faces increasing requirements and potential
liabilities due to emissions of hazardous air pollutants. Many states began establishing regulations governing the emissions of hazardous
air pollutants after the 1984 accidental release of methyl isocyanate in Bhopal, India. After thirteen years of extended debate, the
US Congress passed significant amendments to the Clean Air Act in 1990. These various regulations require industrial facilities to evaluate,
control, monitor, permit and assess risk for a variety of listed chemicals considered hazardous air pollutants.
Title III of the 1990
Clean Air Act Amendments provides for the permitting and control of sources emitting as little as ten tons per year of one of 189 federally
listed hazardous air pollutants. In addition, sources emitting lesser quantities of 100 of these 189 hazardous air pollutants have to
develop risk management plans to prevent accidental releases. This requirement is very similar to the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration regulation for protecting workers from accidental releases. Approximately ten other federal regulations also deal with
emissions of hazardous pollutants. In addition, state regulations address up to 460 hazardous air pollutants. Deadlines for establishing
compliance with the federal requirements are currently being implemented for some industry categories and are scheduled to be completed
by 2003.
To effectively respond to this myriad of hazardous air pollutant regulations and maintain a viable business, owners and operators
of industrial facilities need to understand: the pollutants that are regulated as hazardous, applicable state and federal requirements,
sources of hazardous air pollutants, the quantification of hazardous air pollutant emissions, potential risks and liabilities, and the
best means to establish a compliance program.
This book provides a review of the regulatory requirements affecting sources of hazardous
air pollutants, the methods for inventorying and measuring emissions, methods for evaluating potential risks and liabilities due to hazardous
air pollutant emissions, and approaches available to reduce emissions and establish a hazardous air pollutant compliance program.
Audience
Owners and operators of industrial facilities.
