The informa tion alleged as evidence of adverse health effects and the existing ambient air levels and extent of human exposure are overstated. As the result, the Preamble to the proposed stan dard contains many erroneous statements, unjustified conclu sions and incorporates some obsolete and misleading data. On May 30, 1974, the industry was requested by Mr. Don R. Goodwin of EPA to provide the following data on very short notice. A. Process flow sheet showing all sources of air emissions, compositions, and pounds emitted per pound of product and per hour. Actual data is preferred but best estimates would be acceptable. B. Emission control devices described in detail with invest ment and operating cost data. C. Fugitive emissions estimated by material balance. D. Emission control procedures. E. Ambient air sampling results with plant layout shov;ing sampling points. SPI-16871
