Answer 1

A violation. The company is emitting hazardous air pollutants for which there are defined maximum permissible guidelines and steps that must be taken to curb production of the aforementioned pollutants. By not taking any steps to reduce their emissions, including the use of equipment that can minimize the problem, the company would be in violation of statutes mandated by the Clean Air Act.
