EPA Sets New Emission Standards for Flexible Polyurethane Foam Production

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has issued new national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) for the production of flexible polyurethane foam, aiming to reduce emissions by 70% and save over 12,500 Mg/yr. The updated standards also revise the Paperwork Reduction Act approvals for 40 CFR part 9.
