| The Clean Air Act, Section 112, requires the
control of Hazardous Air Pollutant (HAP) emissions from specific area and major
source categories. An area source category is one that emits less than 10 tons
per year of any one HAP and less than 25 tons per year of all HAPs. Major
sources are those that emit more than 10 tons per year of any one HAP and over
25 tons per year of all HAPs.
General Provisions govern all National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants (NESHAPs) in addition to the requirements in each specific area
NESHAP. Note that in some cases, a specific area NESHAP may override the
General Provisions.

substrates and then cut the foam using a loop slitter; and flame lamination,
which is the bonding of foam to other substrates using scorched or melted foam.
New and reconstructed flame lamination facilities have emission reduction
requirements, while existing facilities are not required to further reduce
emissions. Loop slitter adhesive processes have changed adhesive type, which
eliminated the source of toxic emissions from their process.
