  • Electroplated and electroless metal films
  • Raw materials (resins, pigments, and solvents) used in the production of paints and coatings; and
  • Activities by end users of paints and allied products.


*An area source of HAP has the potential to emit <10 tons per year (tpy) of a single HAP or <25 tpy of a combination of HAPs.
