The Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 (CAAA) identified 189 elements and compounds that are classified by the U.S. EPA as hazardous air pollutants (HAPs). Among these are eleven inorganic trace elements found in coal. A provision of the CAAA required EPA to conduct a study of the health and environmental impacts of HAP emissions from electric utility generating units. EPA has completed a number of draft documents in compliance with this mandate. For trace element emission estimates, they have relied on a number of field tests which were conducted by a variety of organizations including the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). The DOE program utilized the EPA Method 29 sampling train to measure the emissions of trace elements including Se. EPA Method 29 is validated for municipal waste combustor sampling but not for coal-fired combustion sources.
