What Clean Air Act hazardous air pollutants are regulated by the Hazardous Waste Combustion NESHAP?
The Hazardous Waste Combustion NESHAP limits emissions of the following Clean Air Act hazardous air pollutants (HAPs): chlorinated dioxins and furans, mercury, lead, cadmium, arsenic, beryllium, chromium, hydrochloric acid/chlorine gas, antimony, cobalt, manganese, nickel, selenium, and nondioxin and furan organic HAPs. For some of the above-listed HAPs, we chose to use surrogate emission limits. Specifically, antimony, cobalt, manganese, nickel and selenium emissions are controlled through a surrogate particulate matter standard; nondioxin and furan organic HAP emissions are controlled through surrogate carbon monoxide, hydrocarbon, and destruction and removal efficiency standards. Top of Page • Did the 1999 Hazardous Waste Combustion NESHAP set emission standards for all hazardous waste combustors? No. The 1999 Hazardous Waste Combustion NESHAP set emission standards for a subset of the hazardous waste combustion universe. This is because we chose to promulgate the NESHAP in two phas
