And the final rule is out. Unlike the proposal, it will not directly address carcinogenic #ethyleneoxide emissions from the plants in question: epa.gov/system/files/d… #EPA #AirPollution

The draft version - developed during the Biden administration - was published just after President Donald Trump took office last year: govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR…. You can expect the final rule to look a lot different. #AirPollution #ethyleneoxide #deregulation

Toxic ethylene oxide causes cancer, yet the Trump Administration is proposing to gut restrictions on the emissions of these chemicals from commercial sterilizers. EPA must reinstate its EtO emission standards and protect our communities from toxic emissions.

For decades, Republican lawmakers and industry lobbyists have tried to chip away at a small EPA program that measures the threat of toxic chemicals in our air and water. Legislation proposed in Congress would do exactly that. trib.al/gDR4kXq

The EPA issued new rules to force hundreds of chemical plants across the U.S. to reduce cancer-linked toxic chemicals they emit into the air. The rules come as a win for advocates and advance the Biden administration's push for environmental justice. trib.al/svpzl31

Regulations unveiled Thursday by the U.S. EPA would require commercial sterilization operations to reduce ethylene oxide emissions by 90%, largely by installing pollution-control equipment already required in Illinois and a handful of other states. trib.al/l1jGw6I

Using EPA data, we mapped the spread of cancer-causing industrial air emissions down to the neighborhood level. Click on a hot spot or type in an address to find the increased estimated cancer risk at that location. propub.li/40Jtbe5

Ethylene oxide is one of the most toxic air pollutants EPA regulates. It is a known carcinogen, and in 2016 EPA estimated it was 60x more toxic than previously thought. So it's about time they updated rules for ethylene oxide sterilization facilities. ejus.tc/3KDhcrm

The updated rules impose stricter health standards for emissions of chloroprene and ethylene oxide to reduce the risk of cancer residents face when they breathe pollution from chemical plants. propub.li/3KEiP8t
