Carper Statement on Finalized EPA Standards to Protect Communities from Ethylene Oxide Pollution

Statement

Date: March 14, 2024
Location: Washington, D.C.
Issues: Federal, State and Local Relations

“For too long, far too many communities have been exposed to hazardous chemicals and known carcinogens in the air. Every American should have clean air to breathe — no matter their zip code. That is why I have continuously pushed for greater oversight of ethylene oxide emissions.

The EPA’s final ethylene oxide standards for commercial sterilizers are grounded in science and will save lives. I’m grateful for the Biden Administration’s years of work to develop these strong standards.”
