Title III (Hazardous Air Pollutants)

Title III of the Clean Air Act addresses hazardous air pollutants (HAPs), which are harmful chemicals that may pose serious health risks, such as cancer and respiratory issues. This section mandates that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) identify and regulate these pollutants from various sources, including industrial facilities. Industries must implement specific measures to limit emissions of HAPs, ensuring cleaner air quality and protecting public health. The goal is to minimize exposure to these dangerous substances and improve overall environmental safety.
