Which regulation addresses nonvisible asbestos emissions?

The regulation that specifically addresses nonvisible asbestos emissions is NESHAP 40 CFR 61.150. This regulation is part of the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) and deals with asbestos emissions from demolition and renovation activities, ensuring that these activities do not release asbestos fibers into the air, even if they are not visible.

Nonvisible emissions refer to asbestos fibers that can be airborne but may not be seen with the naked eye. NESHAP is crucial in protecting public health by establishing standards for the handling, removal, and disposal of asbestos to minimize airborne concentrations of these hazardous materials.

In contrast, the other regulations mentioned focus on different aspects of environmental protection or worker safety. For instance, RCRA Subtitle D pertains to solid waste management but does not specifically target asbestos emissions. OSHA regulations primarily aim to protect worker safety and health in workplaces but are less focused on air quality standards like NESHAP. TSCA involves chemical substance control but also does not specifically address nonvisible emissions related to asbestos in the same manner as NESHAP.
