Abstract: Only ten years ago, mainline compressor engines could be installed and operated without any consideration given to the impact that exhaust emissions might have on the breathable or ambient air quality. With the passage of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) in 1969 and the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in 1970. all hell started to break loose. The Clean Air Act (CAA) of 1970, and its amendments in 1977, called for regulations by the EPA to establish and enforce standards for ambient air quality necessary to protect public health. In 1970. National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) were established for six criteria pollutants. Nitrogen Dioxide (NOj) Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) Photochemical Oxidants (O3) Total Suspended Particulates (TPS) Carbon Monoxide (CO) and, Nonmethane Hydrocarbons (NMHC). The last standard, NMHC, is a guideline only and not enforceable. There has since been added a standard for lead.
