National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP)

National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) are regulations set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to limit emissions of dangerous pollutants from large industrial sources. They aim to protect public health and the environment by requiring facilities like factories, power plants, and chemical plants to use cleaner technologies and control devices. Compliance helps reduce harmful air pollutants such as toxic chemicals and carcinogens, ensuring industries operate responsibly and do not release excessive hazardous pollutants into the air we breathe.
