Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs)

Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs) are specific airborne chemicals known to pose health risks such as cancer, respiratory issues, or environmental harm. They are often emitted from industrial processes, vehicle exhaust, or chemical manufacturing. Because of their potential danger, many HAPs are regulated by environmental authorities to limit exposure and protect public health. These pollutants can be toxic even at low concentrations, making their control important for maintaining clean air and safe communities.
