Description:
Documents relating to investigation of emissions into the air from radiologically contaminated sites, radioactive waste disposal sites, and industrial sources of radionuclides as air pollutants under NESHAPS (National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Pollutants). NESHAPS are standards that limit emissions from specific sources of air pollutants (chemical or radioactive) that are known or suspected to cause serious health problems. The NESHAPS for radionuclides apply to air pollutants that are hazardous because they emit radiation.

All other copies can be destroyed when no longer needed. Non-radioactive NESHAPS are scheduled as EPA 216.
