Book excerpt: EPA proposes national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants for the pulp & paper production. The proposed standards focus on reducing hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) from new & existing sources used in chem. recovery processes at kraft, soda, sulfite, & stand-alone semichemical pulp mills. The standards would protect the public health & the environment by reducing HAP emissions to the level corresponding to the max. achievable control technology. The proposed standards would reduce HAP emissions by about 2,600 megagrams per year (mg/yr). In addition, emissions of criteria pollutants such as particulate matter & volatile organic compounds would be reduced by about 56,400 mg/yr (62,100 tons/yr).
