In the NESHAP, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency issued emission standards and pollution prevention practices based on generally available control technology (GACT) for the control of Urban Hazardous Air Pollutants that are emitted from electric arc furnaces (EAF) and argon-oxygen decarburization (AOD) vessels. The NESHAP also established pollution preventino management practices based on Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) for mercury in accordance with Section 112(c)(6) of the Clean Air Act.
