Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:684715

Midwest Research Institute, under a cooperative agreement with the Air Pollution Prevention and Control Division of the US Environmental Protection Agency`s (EPA`s) National Risk Management Research Laboratory, is conducting a study to identify wood furniture and cabinet manufacturing facilities that have converted to low-volatile organic compound/hazardous air pollutant (VOC/HAP) coatings and to develop case studies for those facilities. This paper discusses the progress of the project and pollution prevention options at wood furniture manufacturing facilities and the regulatory requirements (e.g., the National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Wood Furniture Manufacturing Operations) that these facilities face.
