EPA Proposes National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants from Hydrochloric Acid Production Facilities

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has proposed national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) for hydrochloric acid (HCl) production facilities, which are expected to reduce nationwide emissions of HAP from HCl production by approximately 1,620 Megagrams per year, thereby mitigating adverse health effects associated with HCl exposure.
