Are funeral homes with crematory services subject to enhanced pollution laws?

Asked by elbanditoroso (33183points) 1 month ago

Your average funeral home uses formaldehyde (or related chemicals) for body stabilization before burial.

If a funeral home also offers cremation services, they have to have and maintain their own ovens and exhaust vents.

For cremation, do funeral homes have to have special filters on their chimneys to reduce human particulate matter? Or does it just escape into the open air?
