Managing hazardous air pollutants : EPRI's PISCES R-D project
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulates air toxics under Section 112 of the Clean Air Act. To date the agency has established emission standards for 8 hazardous air pollutants, but the US electric industry was not determined to be a source category requiring regulation. The 1990 Clean Air Act amendments require a new evaluation of electric utility industry emissions of hazardous air pollutants. Key features of the air toxics provisions of the Clean Air Act Amendments are summarized, the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI's) activities on the subject are described, and preliminary insights from EPRI's research are presented. The PISCES database, monitoring chemical species, the control technology engineering reference manual, field monitoring, systems model, hydrochloric acid and mercury management, and risk assessment are discussed
