Unless emissions of any air toxic are less than 1.0 pound per hour for a toxic chemical or 0.1 pound per hour for a carcinogen, a facility must comply with the regulations. No facility can emit an air toxic in excess of the maximum allowable emissions. All new sources must apply best available control technology to control the emissions of air toxics.
