What Does NESHAPS Stand For?

NESHAPS stands for National Emission Standards For Hazardous Air Pollutants

NESHAPs, or National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants, are regulatory standards established by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Clean Air Act. These standards aim to control emissions of hazardous air pollutants from specific industrial sources and processes, thereby reducing the risks to public health and the environment. NESHAPs are designed to limit exposure to harmful substances, ensuring compliance through performance standards and guidelines for monitoring and reporting emissions.
