Could EPA be charged with engaging in chemical warfare gIven the scientific evidence that this proposed rollback on a known carcinogen will contribute to acute and chronic diseases that can lead to death? Here's the link to make your voice heard. #airpollution #ethyleneoxide #EPA #breastcancer
#EthyleneOxide, a known carcinogen.
Imagine if the Trump admin's EPA cared enough to REDUCE our daily exposure to carcinogens, instead of constantly finding ways to increase it. #pollution #EthyleneOxide #cancer #DonaldTrump www.jezebel.com/cancer-carci...
…“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.”

…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 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 […]
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 […]
