Republican EPA fails at the words used in its own name

EPA proposal weakens air pollution limits on cancer-causing gas

The Environmental Protection Agency has proposed weakening air pollution limits for a chemical used to sterilize medical equipment. The move would reverse a Biden administration finding of high cancer risks at manufacturing facilities that use ethylene oxide to clean billions of medical devices. The EPA said it is concerned that the current Biden-era standards “actively threaten” manufacturers’ ability to sterilize equipment and jeopardize a secure domestic supply chain for essential medical equipment. Ethylene oxide plays a crucial role in sterilizing lifesaving medical devices, including pacemakers and syringes, but long-term exposure can cause leukemia and other types of cancer among people who work at medical sterilization facilities or live nearby.
