Economic Impact Analysis for the Proposed Spandex Production NESHAP

摘要

Pursuant to Section 112 of the Clean Air Act, the U.S. Environmental ProtectionAgency (EPA) is developing a National Emissions Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) to control emission released from the domestic production of spandex fiber. The purpose of this rule is to reduce the flow of the HAPs toluene and 2, 4-toluene diisocyanate (2, 4-TDI) from potential emission points within spandex manufacturing facilities. There are five facilities in the spandex manufacturing source category, four of which are major sources.
