The Trump EPA proposes weakening ethylene oxide limits, risking public health and supply chains.
The Environmental Protection Agency proposed weakening air pollution limits on ethylene oxide, a cancer-causing chemical used to sterilize medical devices like syringes and pacemakers, reversing a Biden-era rule that aimed to cut emissions by 90%.
The move, under the Trump administration, claims current standards threaten the domestic supply chain for essential medical equipment.
Critics, including public health and environmental groups, warn the rollback increases cancer risks for workers and nearby communities, especially in minority neighborhoods near sterilization facilities.
The proposal is part of a broader pattern of environmental regulatory rollbacks.
