There are no fumes or effluents generated in the processing of powders and the requirements of state and federal environmental protection agencies are met without difficulty. However, the production of powders has been subjected to the same concerns as most other metal refining and smelting operations.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, under the Safe Drinking Water Act, set the secondary contaminant level for silver ia drinking water at 0.1 mg/L (20). Secondary contaminants are not considered to be hazardous to health and thus the limits are not federally enforceable.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has established National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for protection of human health and welfare. These standards are defined in terms of concentration and hme span for a specific pollutant for example, the NAAQS for carbon monoxide is 9 ppmV for 8 hr, not to be exceeded more than once per year. For a state or local government to establish compliance with a National Ambient Air Quality Standard, measurements of the actual air quality must be made. To obtain these measurements, state and local governments have established stationary monitoring networks with instrumentation complying with federal specifications, as discussed in Chapter 14. The results of these measurements determine whether a given location is violating the air quality standard.

The states are required to submit to the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) plans, known as State Implementation Plans (SIP), showing how they will achieve the standards in their jurisdictions within a specified time period. If after that time period there are areas within the states where these standards have not been attained, the states are required to submit and obtain EPA approval of revised plans to achieve the standards in these "nonattainment" areas. EPA also designates certain areas where the standards are being met, but which have the potential for future nonattainment, as Air Quality Maintenance Areas (AQMA). Such regions have stricter requirements than attainment areas for the granting of permits for new sources of the pollutant not in attainment status. 

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) the federal agency responsible for regulating air quality. See also EPA Web site. 

Rrst responders are divided into two levels of competency first responder awcireness and first responder of>-erational. First responders at the awareness level shall be trained to meet all of the requirements of Section -2 of this chapter and first responders at the operational level shall be trained to meet all of the requirements of Section 2 and Section -3 of this chapter. All first responders shall receive annual training to meet federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requirements.

The Clean Air Act is the comprehensive Federal law that regulates air en stationary, and mobile sources. This law authorizes the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to establish National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) to protect public health and the environment. The goal of the Act was to set and achieve NAAQS in every state by 1975. This ng of maximum pollutant standards was coupled with directing the states to develop state... 

Air pollution in the United States is regulated at federal, state, and local levels. Allowable concentrations of the major air pollutants are set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the auspices of the Clean Air Act. States and localities implement pollution control plans in accordance with the provisions of the Clean Air Act in regions where air pollutant concentrations exceed the federal standards. Some states and localities have air pollution standards of their own, and in the past, such standards have occasionally been more stringent than those of the EPA. 

The shortcoming of a constant-speed test is that in traffic, nobody drives at constant speed. Consequently, with the onset of the federal fuel-economy standards that took effect in the United States in 1978, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) prescribed transient driving schedules deemed representative of both urban and highway driving.
