In Comments Submitted to EPA, NPCA Joins Call to Delist EGBE
WASHINGTON - The NPCA has filed comments urging the Environmental Protection Agency to expedite the removal of the solvent ethylene glycol monobutyl ether (EGBE) from the agency's list of hazardous air pollutants.
The association said the delisting of EGBE could help the industry reduce hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions and meet new emissions rules affecting manufacturers and users of coatings. The EPA recently announced it would consider the delisting in response to a petition submitted by a panel of the American Chemistry Council.
