EPA background document (APTD-1503, March 1973) supporting the promulgated national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants, with excerpts including general provisions, the asbestos section, and the beryllium and mercury testing discussion. The asbestos portion summarizes health effects, explains why the standard was written as work practices and visible-emission limits rather than numerical limits, responds to comments on mines, mills, manufacturing, spraying and demolition, and estimates environmental and economic impact.
