Abstract

The Clean Air Act of 1970 established the authority to control hazardous air pollutants. Section 112 of the legislation requires the Administrator to publish, and from time to time revise, a list of hazardous air pollutants for which he intends to establish emission standards, and to establish emission standards for those pollutants. These national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants are commonly referred to as ''NESHAP'' standards. All of the NESHAP that have been promulgated as of April 1984 are summarized. Included are asbestos, beryllium, mercury, vinyl chloride, benzene, and radionuclides. Two types of refrences are included. The first reference identifies the issue of the Federal Register in which the NESHAP is explained in detail. The second reference identifies the background information document which contains the technical and economic information developed to support the NESHAP.
