Background Information 

Air emissions of EtO from commercial sterilizers can contribute to elevated cancer risk in some communities. EPA’s analysis indicates that the air near the facility does not exceed short-term health benchmarks. However, our concern is that a lifetime of exposure to EtO emissions could lead to long-term health impacts if some of these facilities continue to emit at the current levels.
