This part addresses air emissions from stationary sources at an affected
facility. A stationary source is defined as any building, structure,
facility, or installation which emits or may emit any air pollutant. Sources must adhere to the applicable standards for various pollutants
in their exhaust air.
Pollutants covered under this part include but are not limited to nitrogen
oxides, sulfur oxides, carbon monoxide, and volatile organic compounds. For each source category, standards are set for emissions of commonly found
pollutants, test methods for monitoring and calculating emissions are provided,
and reports and recordkeeping are required to document facility operations
and compliance.
