| 01-17564 | National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Reinforced Plastic Composites Production | Proposed Rule | This action proposes national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) for new and existing reinforced plastic composites production facilities. The proposed standards regulate production and ancillary processes used to manufacture products with thermoset resins and gel coats. Reinforced plastic composites production facilities emit hazardous air pollutants (HAP), such as styrene, methyl methacrylate (MMA), and methylene chloride (dichloromethane). These HAP have adverse health effects including headache, fatigue, depression, irritation of skin, eyes, and mucous membranes. Methylene chloride has been classified as a probable human carcinogen. These proposed standards will implement section 112(d) of the Clean Air Act (CAA) by requiring all major sources in this category to meet HAP emission standards reflecting the application of the maximum achievable control technology (MACT). We estimate the proposed NESHAP would reduce nationwide emissions of HAP from these facilities by approximately 14,500 tons per year (tpy) (65 percent). | 2001-08-02 | 2001 | 8 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2001/08/02/01-17564/national-emission-standards-for-hazardous-air-pollutants-reinforced-plastic-composites-production | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2001-08-02/pdf/01-17564.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | This action proposes national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) for new and existing reinforced plastic composites production facilities.
