EPA to Propose Unified Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants from Organic Chemical Processes

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) plans to introduce a unified set of emission standards for over 20 categories of hazardous air pollutants (HAP) from various organic chemical processes, with the goal of covering all processes that have not been included in existing standards by November 15, 2000. The EPA is seeking input from state and regional environmental agencies, industry representatives, and environmental groups to inform the development of these proposed standards.
