EPA is developing standards to control toxic air pollutants from area sources. "Area" sources are those sources that emit less than 10 tons annually of a single hazardous air pollutant or less than 25 tons or more annually of a combination of hazardous air pollutants. For more information, visit EPA's Area Source Standards page. For a list of business sectors for which EPA is developing Area Source Standards, visit EPA's Area Source Standards Development page.
All of the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutant (NESHAP) rules are listed in one table. In this table, you will find in alphabetical order, the links to the final rules, latest fact sheets, and other pertinent information on each category, including both area sources and major sources. Visit www.epa.gov/ttn/atw/mactfnlalph.html, to review the table that provides NESHAP (MACT) Standards, listed alphabetically by source categories (business sector) affected.
