Title: NESHAP: Area Source Standards--Asphalt Roofing Manufacture 
Abstract: Section 112(k) of the Clean Air Act requires the development of standards for area sources that account for 90 percent of the emissions in urban areas of the 33 urban hazardous air pollutants (HAP) listed in the Integrated Urban Air Toxics Strategy. The Integrated Urban Air Toxics Strategy lists asphalt roofing production as an area source category. The pollutant emitted from this category is polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH). In asphalt roofing manufacturing, processed or modified asphalt (also called modified bitumen) is applied to a fibrous substrate (typically made of fiberglass or organic felt) to produce roofing shingles and other roofing products. This source category is currently regulated under both the new source performance standards (NSPS) and the national emissions standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) for major sources. There are approximately ninety area source facilities in the U.S.
