The Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) emission limitations required by the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments (CAAA) show the ultimate effect of the ratcheting process. After a little more than two decades of ratcheting, MWCs have become a comparatively minor source of combustion-related air pollution. Other artificial and natural sources such as automobiles, trucks, power plants, fireplaces, wood stoves, metal production furnaces, industrial manufacturing processes, volcanoes, forest fires, and backyard trash burning are now the major known sources of combustion-related pollutants.
