The changes made in Paragraph 112 of the Clean Air Act by the 1990 amendments to the act will affect the regulation of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) emitted by fossil-fired boilers. The 1990 amendments designated 189 chemicals/compounds as HAPs. Major and area sources of these pollutants in categories designated by the Environmental Protection Agency will be subject to emission standards set by that agency. Industrial and institutional/commercial boilers are two such categories of HAPs designated by EPA for which emission standards will be issued. Fossil-fired boilers can emit a variety of HAPs. All or a portion of such emissions that exceed designated thresholds are likely to be regulated. Source owners have the option of participating in the early reduction program before final standards are issued.
