Excerpt from the EPA's December 1971 background document for its first proposed national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants, covering asbestos, beryllium and mercury. It includes the cover, contents, introduction (describing review by the National Air Pollution Control Techniques Advisory Committee and federal agencies) and Technical Report No. 1 on asbestos. That report summarizes the proposed asbestos standard, including no visible emissions from mills, manufacturing plants and demolition and limits on spray-applied asbestos fireproofing and insulation, and discusses health effects, the nature of the asbestos air pollution problem, how the standard was developed and its economic impact.
