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.
