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.

…“This administration is systematically looking for ways to let polluters off the hook,” Sarah Buckley, a senior atty at the Natural Resources Defense Council, said… “If this abuse of authority is left unchecked, communities will pay the price in higher #cancer risks.”
…The #EPA will solicit public comments on the proposed rule for 45 days after its publication in the Federal Register. The agency will then finalize the rule, likely within the year.

…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 agency’s proposed rule would loosen limits on #EthyleneOxide #emissions from around 90 commercial sterilization facilities across the country. Roughly 2.3 million people live within two miles of these facilities in what are often #LowIncome neighborhoods or #CommunitiesOfColor, according to an analysis by the Union of Concerned Scientists, an environmental group.

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.

#Trump #EPA Moves to Weaken Limits on a #Cancer Causing #Gas
The gas, #EthyleneOxide, plays a crucial role in sterilizing medical devices. But long-term exposure is linked to several types of cancer & other ailments.

#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.

@TheRoot @politics-TheRoot “Ethylene oxide so toxic, red flag levels…start at anything over 11 parts per trillion. The team found levels …[of]40 parts per billion…close to industrial facilities. They…detected concerning amounts…as much as 10 kilometers downwind from the plants.
“…concentrations …[of]40 parts per billion…is more a thousand times higher than the accepted risk for lifetime exposure,”

Spices Board of India Inspects MDH and Everest Plants After Ethylene Oxide Concerns
This action follows Hong Kong's warning on April 5 against consuming certain products from these manufacturers due to the presence of ethylene oxide (EtO), and Singapore's recall of Everest’s fish curry masala on April 18 for similar reasons.

New rule mandates 200 US plants to reduce #toxic #emissions linked to #cancer
Long-awaited rule finalized by #EPA strengthens protections for communities living near industrial sites, especially along #GulfCoast. Focuses on #ethyleneoxide, used to produce #antifreeze, #pesticides and sterilizing agents,and #chloroprene, which is used to make synthetic rubber. The new update under the #CleanAirAct would also require fence-line monitoring of six toxic air #pollutants https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2024/apr/09/epa-chemical-plants-rules?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other -

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has approved a fuel ingredient that is nearly guaranteed to cause cancer over a lifetime. The ingredient, ethylene oxide, is a known carcinogen and has been linked to increased cancer rates in communities near facilities that produce or use it. #EPA #EthyleneOxide #Cancer https://truthout.org/articles/epa-approved-fuel-ingredient-nearly-guaranteed-to-cause-cancer-over-a-lifetime/

NEW: The EPA is taking action to limit emissions of ethylene oxide, a carcinogenic gas that is the only way to sterilize some (20 billion per year) medical devices.
