Please note that we have included substances in the list even if they were reported by only one facility. In addition, we listed materials without regard to the amount involved or potential foremissions. Our goal was to define the universe of potential HAPs that might fall under the PVC MACT rule with the understanding that both the need for inclusion in the rule or the need to develop a surrogacy analysis would come at a later date. The inclusion of asubstance on this list does not reflect any agreement by the VI or its members that the substance merits regulation under the PVC MACT. We have not included vinyl chloride monomer on the list because we understand that the agency will certainly include that HAP inthe regulation. We have attempted to identify the possible source and noted expected fate of these HAPS following the polymerization step of the PVC process.Potential PVC Plant HAPSNotesThe only dioxin compound on the EPA HAP list is 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (CAS No. 1746016).Incinerators: This term is shorthand for exhaust gas control devices, primarily thermal oxidizers.
