The Clean Air Act requires EPA to regulate emissions of toxic
air pollutants from a published list of industrial sources referred
to as "source categories." As required under the Act,
EPA has developed a list of source categories
that must meet control technology requirements for these toxic air
pollutants. The EPA is required to develop regulations (also known
as rules or standards) for all industries that emit one or more
of the pollutants in significant quantities. EPA developed implementation tools (eg. checklists, brochures) to help comply with the standards.
