Pollution Engineering - September 2008 - (Page 44) The Some rare microorganisms collected all over the world may be the key to control technology for hazardous air pollutants and volatile organic compounds catching up to the lofty expectations of government and environmentalists. efore the 1990 Clean Air Act amendments, the EPA regulated air toxics one chemical at a time. However, from 1970 to 1990, the agency established regulations for only seven pollutants. The 1990 Clean Air Act amendments instead required the agency to identify 187 industrial sources of pollution by categories. The amendments also directed the agency to require sources to install controls or change production processes. The EPA has published regulations covering a range of industrial categories, including chemical plants, incinerators, dry cleaners and manufacturers of wood furniture. The law requires the agency to first set regulations using a technology-based or performance-based approach to reduce toxic emissions, such as hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from industrial sources. The idea behind regulating by categories is that multiple pollutants often come from the same source. Modern HAPs/VOC removal filters are designed to receive airflow from an existing or proposed air-exhaust stack. Filters can be sized to a removal efficiency of more than 99 percent for many industries, including coatings, epoxy resins manufacturing, fabric B By EDWARD D.
