What is the primary purpose of the aerospace NESHAP cleaning requirement?

The primary purpose of the aerospace NESHAP (National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants) cleaning requirement is to reduce the emissions of hazardous air pollutants during the cleaning of aerospace components and equipment. This regulation aims to protect air quality and public health by limiting the use of certain solvents and chemicals that can release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other harmful substances into the atmosphere. Compliance with these standards helps ensure safer practices in the aerospace industry while promoting environmental sustainability.
