Complete Federal Register issue (Part II, April 6, 1973, pp. 8820-8850) in which EPA promulgated its first national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants under section 112 of the Clean Air Act (40 CFR Part 61). It covers asbestos, beryllium and mercury, with the preamble and its health references. For asbestos it barred visible emissions from mills and listed manufacturing operations. It banned surfacing roadways with asbestos tailings and required wetting and careful lowering of friable asbestos insulation in demolition. Spray-on building insulation and fireproofing had to contain less than 1 percent asbestos. Appendices give report forms and test methods.
