The pollutants were asbestos, beryllium. and mercury. On December T. till ll PR 2323>. Um Administrator proposed standards for Umh pollutants.
Interested persons participated tn Um rulemaking br prtu tealbaeny at public hearings and br sending comments Is EPA. Public Itesrtngx were held tn Hew York CUr on January It, tm. and tn Los Angeles on February IS and It, IfTX. A third hearing, scheduled to be held tn Kansas City, on February t. t*TX was canceled because of a lack of nquata to participate. Sixty-eight persona gave testimony at the public hearings, and M persons sent comments to QPA. Repre sented were Industries, universities. govemmcnlal agencies--Federal. State, and local, and environmental croups. Copies of the public hearing records are avail able st all ETA Regional Offices and at the Division of Stationary Source Ollorctment. room 3230. tOl M Street 6W. Wishington. D.C. 20100. where copies of the comments reed red are also available.
The bases for the Administrator's de terminations that asbestos, beryllium and mercury are hazardous, the deneatlons of the standards now adopted, the Environmental Protection Agency's re sponses to the significant comments received, and the principal revisions to the proposed standards are summarized below. A more detailed statement Is available on request from the Emission Standards and EngUtennc Division. Oivtronmenial Protection Agency. Re search Triangle Park. N C. 2TJ11. Atten tion: Mr. Don Coodaln. tn addition, the Administrator Is issuing information an control techniques for asbroto*. beryl lium. and mercury as directed by section It2lb)i2' of the act. Copies of these documents may be obtained free of charge from ETA Regional Offices.

Asbestos Is a hazardous atr pollutant within the meaning of section 112. Many persons exposed to asbestos dust de veloped asbcslosls when the dust concen tration was high or the duration of ex posure was long tl-n. A large number of studies have shown that there is an association between occupational ex posure to asbestos and a hlghcr-lhanexpected Incidence of bronchial cancer (1-30). Asbestos also has been Identified as a causal (actor tn the development of mesotheliomas, cancers of the mem-

evidence decs not indicate (hat levels of asbestos in mwl community air cause ashestotic disease. Taking both these
considerations into account, the Admin
istrator has determined that, tn order to provide an ample margin of atfety to
protect the public health from asbestos.
It is oaersaary to control emissions frogs major Dso-wdt sources of aitssolisa emissions Into Um atmosphere. but that it la not necessary to prohibit all
tn this determination. Um Administra tor has rolled on UM National Academy of BOratea* report on aabratoa (31)( which conclude*: -Asbestos ta too Unt'ortaat In our technology! and economy for Its essential vw Vo be stopped.

Tbs meona of control used arc ttallationa on visible rmlaatona with aa option to some eaaao to uso designated control equipment. requirements that eertala procedures be followed, and prohlbtUons on Um of eertala materials or of cer tain operations. Those meono of control
are required because of Um tapoaalbUtly at thla IUm of prescribing and enforc ing allowable numerical concentreUonj or mass embalm limitations known ta provide aa ample margin of safety. The altemaUvw of no control of Use sources subject to this standard was rejected bevaoae of the significant health hazard of unregulated emissions of asbestos Into the atmosphere from the designated major sources.
It is the Administrator's Judgment that the asbestos sources subject to this
standard are the major sources of as bestos emtastona. In the absence of qua litative emission data, the Administra tor's Judgment was based on an national Inventory of source* and emissions of asbntos <50 and other reports <53. 55). Tha asbestos emissions and emission factor* presented In the national Inven
tory were based on Information obtained ' from production and reprocessing com panies. This Information Included pro duction figure*, estimate* of control equipment efficiency and material bal ance*: It did not Include emission test results. The major sources of asbestos emissions were considered to fall Into five categories: tl) Mining and milling: (3) manufacturing: 131 fabrication: Ml demoliuoo: and <31 spraying. In deter mining which of these major source* should be covered by the standard pro mulgated herein, the Administrator con11acred the vCccl other Federal regula
tions *111 have on the emissions from such sources and the proximity of such
sources to the public. In addition, the Administrator considered comment* on tha proposed standard and additional technical data not available before pro posal. The following paragraphs explain these considerations and the changes

4 4 Measurement of stack conditions:
4.4.1 Set up the apparatus as shown la figure 101-2. Make sure *11 connections are tight and leak`free. Measure the velocity head sod temperature st the traverse points specified by section 4 2 and O.
4 4 2 Measure the static pressure la the stack.
4.42 Determine the slack gas moisture. .
4.4.4 Determine tbe stack gas molecular weight from the measured moisture content and knowledge of the expected gas stream composition. A standard Orsat analyser bae been found valuable st combustion sources; Iq all cases, sound engineering Judgment should be used.

42.4 Some sampling situations may rea der the above sampling site criteria imprac tical. When this is tbe case, chooae a con venient sampling location and use figure 104--3 to determine the minimum number of traverse points. However, use figure 104--3 only for stacks 1 foot in diameter or larger.
42.8 To use figure 104-3. first measure the distance from the chosen sampling lo cation to the nearest upstream sod down stream disturbances. Divide this distance by the diameter or equivalent diameter to deter mine tbe distance In terms of pipe diameters.
Determine the corresponding number of traverse points for each distance from fig

the number follows the criteria of section
