EPA Announces Series of New Actions to Address Ethylene Oxide Emissions
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently proposed three key actions to further regulate ethylene oxide (EtO) under the Clean Air Act and the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). EPA’s latest proposals include (1) stricter national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) for commercial sterilization facilities, (2) new Clean Air Act rules for plants that make synthetic organic chemicals and plants that make a variety of polymers and resins, and (3) more stringent standards for workplaces handling EtO. We provide an overview of these proposed actions and what they may mean for your business.
