    Reading Time:about 2 hours

    The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing changes to the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for the carbon black production industry. The proposal aims to improve air quality by addressing hazardous emissions from production units, setting new requirements for startup, shutdown, and malfunction processes, and mandating electronic reporting of specific data. Additionally, the EPA evaluated the risks of emissions and decided that while the risks are currently acceptable, these updates will help ensure better protection of public health and the environment. The changes will also include electronic reporting to make data collection more efficient and transparent.

    Simple Explanation

    The EPA wants to make sure the air stays clean by changing some rules for factories that make carbon black, a material used in products like tires. They want these factories to follow better practices to control pollution and report their results electronically to make it easier for everyone to see how well they’re doing.

Public comments are invited on these proposed changes.
