| Title: NESHAPS: Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Hazardous Waste Combustors-Phase II Covering Boilers and Certain Industrial Furnaces | |
| Abstract: Under the Clean Air Act (CAA), EPA is required to establish National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAPs) for most hazardous waste combustors (HWCs) (i.e., incinerators, cement kilns, boilers, and some types of smelting furnaces). In addition, under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), EPA is required to establish standards for all HWCs as necessary to ensure protection of human health and the environment. EPA is concerned that its current RCRA standards for HWCs may not be adequately protective given that the standards do not take into account indirect pathways of exposure and that there have been advances both in risk assessment and control technologies since promulgation of the current standards. The Agency is in the process of developing a proposal to address boilers and possibly other industrial furnaces, which combust hazardous wastes. | |
