Miscellaneous Processes
Laboratory
The Miscellaneous Process category of emission sources includes a wide variety of processes and sources such as chromium electroplating and anodizing operations, laboratories, research and testing equipment and renovation or demolition projects involving friable asbestos.
You need to determine if you are exempt
For the miscellaneous emissions source types listed below, there may be emission factors available from US EPA to calculate the emissions from your business. You can search through USEPA's emission factors site [exit DNR] to find out. If nothing is available there, contact your trade association to see if they can help find information from other sources in your industry.

Hazardous Air Pollutant Guidance
Emission from some of these processes may only be considered Hazardous Air Pollutants. Please review the following guidance on the hazardous air pollutant program:
- Wisconsin's Air Toxics Program — A web site containing information about hazardous air pollutants and state regulations.
- Hazardous Air Pollutant List — An interactive Excel spreadsheet that can show you the thresholds in the state rule for each of the HAPs that you emit. Just place an X in the Select column, then choose the X option from the drop down menu in the top row of that column, and only the information on your HAPs should be shown. Save it to your hard drive as soon as the file opens.
