Ethylene oxide. No odor. No color. You cannot taste it drifting from the sterilization plant two blocks from the school. What accumulates over years is leukemia. Non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The EPA classified it carcinogenic in 2016. Now they want to gut the rules. Cancer in someone else's zip code — already written off as a line item.

…inhaling the gas can cause coughing, dizziness, fatigue & nausea. Long-term exposure can damage the #brain & central nervous system & can increase the risk of breast #cancer, #leukemia, #lymphoma & other #cancers of the white blood cells.
The #EPA first classified #EthyleneOxide as a human #carcinogen in 2016. The agency based the determination on studies showing that the gas was 60 times more toxic to children & 30 times more toxic to adults than previously thought.

The move revived a long-running debate about the paradoxical effects of #EthyleneOxide on #PublicHealth. While it plays a crucial role in sterilizing lifesaving medical devices like pacemakers & syringes, long-term exposure can cause #leukemia & other types of #cancer among people who #work in or #live near medical sterilization facilities.

#YouTube fucking censored my song on #HumansIncarnate about #EthyleneOxide, an outright #Carcinogen that was said to be in the #COVIDvaccines, not because of a line ABOUT actual ethylene oxide, but by misinterpreting the line "It wouldn't surprise me if the vaccine contained mercury." I DID NOT STATE THAT AS A FACT. I SAID IT WOULDN'T SURPRISE ME IF THAT WAS TRUE.
