  • 2025-00685 — National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Chemical Manufacturing Area Sources Technology Review
    💰
    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:90 FR 7942
    Reading Time:about 3 hours

    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing new rules to reduce hazardous air pollutants from chemical manufacturing processes, particularly focusing on ethylene oxide (EtO) emissions. Under this proposal, the EPA aims to introduce stricter monitoring, reporting, and emission reduction standards for facilities using, producing, or emitting EtO. The proposed changes are expected to impact 280 facilities, reducing overall hazardous emissions by about 158 tons annually and EtO emissions by approximately 4.6 tons per year. These measures are intended to mitigate health risks, including cancer, for those living near these facilities.

    Simple Explanation

    The EPA wants to make new rules to help clean the air by reducing bad gases from some factories, especially those that use a chemical called ethylene oxide. These changes will help keep people living nearby safer and healthier.
