The @EPA was required by law to update its #emissions standard for #ethyleneoxide emissions from commercial sterilizers like #Sterigenics four years ago. They don’t currently have any publicly available plans to do so. This is unacceptable and threatens public #health.

The EPA’s estimate of cancer risk from ethylene oxide recently increased by 30 times, but the current emissions standard, set in 2006, doesn’t take the new risk into account. When they update the standard, they will almost certainly require tighter emissions controls.

We can’t afford any more delay, which is why I’m pressuring the @EPA to update the standard as soon as possible.
