The EPA has identified flexible polyurethane foam fabrication facilities as major sources of hazardous air pollutants (HAP) emissions. These standards will implement section 112(d) of the Clean Air Act (CAA) by requiring all such major sources to meet HAP emission standards that reflect the application of maximum achievable control technology (MACT). The primary HAP that will be controlled with this action include hydrochloric acid (HCl), 2,4-toluene diisocyanate (TDI), and hydrogen cyanide (HCN). This action will also preclude the use of methylene chloride. Exposure to these substances has been demonstrated to cause adverse health effects such as irritation of the lung, eye, and mucous membranes, effects on the central nervous system, and cancer. We do not have the type of current detailed data on each of the facilities and the people living around the facilities covered by today's final rule for this source category that would be necessary to conduct an analysis to determine the actual population exposures to the HAP emitted from these facilities and the potential for resultant health effects. Therefore, we do not know the extent to which the adverse health effects described above occur in the populations surrounding these facilities. However, to the extent the adverse effects do occur, and today's final rule reduces emissions, subsequent exposures will be reduced. This final rule will reduce HAP emissions by 6.5 tons per year (tpy) from each new or reconstructed affected source performing flame lamination. 68 FR 18062 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/FR-2003-04-14/03-5520 03-5520 fr14ap03-10 RIN 2060-AH42 6560-50-P OAR-2002-0080 FRL-7461-1 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/FR-2003-04-14/03-5520 https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2003-04-14/html/03-5520.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2003-04-14/pdf/03-5520.pdf Environmental Protection Administrative Practice and Procedure Air Pollution Control Hazardous Substances Intergovernmental Relations Recordkeeping and Reporting Requirements 19 p. 18062 18080 68 FR 18062 Title 40 Part 63 40 CFR Part 63 RIN 2060-AH42 National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Flexible Polyurethane Foam Fabrication Operations; Federal Register Vol. 68, Issue RULE 03-5520 VII ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY OAR-2002-0080 FRL-7461-1 6560-50-P 03-5520 Final rule.
