NPCA Urges EPA to Revamp Propsed Coatings Emission Rule
WASHINGTON - In a sharply worded criticism of the U.S. EPA, the National Paint & Coatings Association has urged the agency to reconsider a number of provisions in the recently issued National Emission Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Miscellaneous Organic processes, commonly referred to as the MON.
The proposed regulation will require coatings and resin manufacturers to comply with maximum achievable control technology (MACT) standards by installing add-on air pollution-control equipment to reduce emissions of hazardous air pollutants from manufacturing processes.
