(b)  more than 10% of unburned particulate matter in excess of 5 µm, over the standard prescribed in the table of subparagraph a of this section, as collected in the sampling device;

(c)  particulate matter individually visible at the point of emission;

(d)  gases containing hydrochloric acid having a concentration higher than 500 parts per million (volume).

The standards of concentration prescribed in the first paragraph are given on a dry basis under standardized conditions corrected at 50% excess air.

This section ceases to have effect on the date on which, pursuant to section 163 of the Regulation respecting the landfilling and incineration of residual materials, an incinerator referred to in the first paragraph becomes governed by Chapter III of that Regulation.
