| 01-19603 | National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Flexible Polyurethane Foam Fabrication Operations | Proposed Rule | This action proposes national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) for flexible polyurethane foam fabrication operations. The EPA has identified flexible polyurethane foam fabrication facilities as potential major sources of hazardous air pollutants (HAP) emissions such as methylene chloride, hydrochloric acid (HCl), 2,4-toluene diisocyanate (TDI), and hydrogen cyanide (HCN). Exposure to these substances has been demonstrated to cause adverse health effects such as irritation of the lung, eye, and mucous membranes, effects on the central nervous system, and cancer. These proposed NESHAP will implement section 112(d) of the Clean Air Act (CAA) by requiring flexible polyurethane foam fabrication facilities that are major sources to meet HAP emission standards reflecting the application of the maximum achievable control technology (MACT). The EPA estimates that these proposed NESHAP will reduce nationwide emissions of HAP from flexible polyurethane foam fabrication operations by approximately 6.5 tons per year (tpy) for each new or reconstructed affected source. The emissions reductions achieved by these proposed NESHAP, when combined with the emissions reductions achieved by other similar standards, will provide protection to the public and achieve a primary goal of the CAA. | 2001-08-08 | 2001 | 8 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2001/08/08/01-19603/national-emission-standards-for-hazardous-air-pollutants-flexible-polyurethane-foam-fabrication | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2001-08-08/pdf/01-19603.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | This action proposes national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) for flexible polyurethane foam fabrication operations.
