Air

An air pollution source is anything that emits air pollutants, such as particulates, dust, fumes, gases, mist, smoke, vapors or odors. While this definition covers many different processes, there are four rules of thumb that can often help identify an air contaminant source.

Does your business:

1. Have something with a stack, dust collector or vent?
        Examples: shotblasters, grinders, storage tanks.
2. Have a process that uses paints, solvents, adhesives or other chemicals?
        Examples: paint booths, degreasers, solvent cleaning tanks.
3. Have a process that burns fuel (e.g., oil, natural gas, coal)?
        Examples: boilers, furnaces, process heaters.
4. Have a process that produces visible dust, smoke or odors?
        Examples: unpaved roadways, material handling areas.
