Hazardous Airborne Pollutants, substances, constituents

THE HAZARDOUS AIRBORNE POLLUTANTS
EPA is required to control 188 hazardous air pollutants.

Hazardous air pollutants, also known as toxic air pollutants or air toxics, are those pollutants that cause or may cause
cancer or other serious health effects, such as reproductive effects or birth defects, or adverse environmental and
ecological effects. Examples of toxic air pollutants include benzene, which is found in gasoline; perchlorethlyene, which
is emitted from some dry cleaning facilities; and methylene chloride, which is used as a solvent and paint stripper by a
number of industries.

NOTE: For all listings above which contain the word
"compounds" and for glycol ethers, the following applies:
Unless otherwise specified, these listings are defined as
including any unique chemical substance that contains the
named chemical (i.e., antimony, arsenic, etc.) as part of
that chemical's infrastructure.
1 X'CN where X = H' or any other group where a formal
dissociation may occur. For example KCN or Ca(CN)2
2 Includes mono- and di- ethers of ethylene glycol,
diethylene glycol, and triethylene glycol R-(OCH2CH2)n
-OR' where
n = 1, 2, or 3
R = alkyl or aryl groups
R' = R, H, or groups which, when removed, yield glycol
ethers with the structure: R-(OCH2CH)n-OH. Polymers are
excluded from the glycol category.(See Modification)
3 Includes mineral fiber emissions from facilities
manufacturing or processing glass, rock, or slag fibers (or
other mineral derived fibers) of average diameter 1
micrometer or less.
4 Includes organic compounds with more than one benzene
ring, and which have a boiling point greater than or equal
to 100 º C.
5 A type of atom which spontaneously undergoes
radioactive decay.
