What does AS stand for?

AFS is proud to be one of the leading associations working on behalf of nonferrous metalcasters during the development of these area source rules," said Jerry Call, AFS executive vice president.

The Paint and Allied Products Manufacturing Area Source rulemaking would apply to paint, ink, and adhesive manufacturing facilities that use cadmium, chromium, lead, nickel, benzene, or methylene chloride, and are categorized as "area sources" [emit less than 10 tons-per-year of a single Hazardous Air Pollutant (HAP) or less than 25 tons-per-year of a mixture of HAPs].

The speaker laminate operates as a perfect piston resonator, thus the entire diaphragm radiates in phase, forming an area source.

For this study, we conducted a complete inventory of the potential sources contributing to TRS emissions at a kraft mill using conventional stack sampling protocols and a flux chamber for emissions from area sources.

Ongoing work which is currently being undertaken on the Maverick Springs prospect to assist in further assessing and defining drill targets includes: the analysis of a 10-well study; the acquisition and interpretation of aeromagnetic data; the completion of an area source rock study and area measured sections; and the completion of area surface mapping and two structural cross sections.

EPA is required by court order to finalize the aluminum, copper and other nonferrous metalcasting facility area source rules by June 15.

Area sources include emissions from many smaller stationary sources such as dry cleaners, gas stations, and residential use of solvents in consumer products (automotive, household, and personal care products).

15, EPA signed the proposed area source rule for nonferrous metalcasters.
