Choice Review
Although air toxics (a category ranging from organics to metals) have been the focus of EPA control efforts since passage of the Clean Air Act of 1970, relatively little progress has been made in their control. To improve this situation, the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments included new tactics such as mandating a broad list of specific pollutants to be controlled, requiring that regulations be based on a source-by-source rather than a chemical-by-chemical basis, and shifting from a risk-based to a technology-based control strategy. This book consists of the proceedings of an international conference, held at the end of 1991, that examined the impact these changes will have on the electric power industry. The papers cover a range of topics related to the new regulations, from air toxics controls in other countries to the sources and effects of the various pollutants. Efforts to limit toxic air emissions will have significant impact beyond the electric utilities, and there is need for much research on these pollutants.
