The company cited a recent air quality test from the EPA, which didn't detect EO in the air near homes, schools and parks.
Sterigenics released a statement today, saying in part, "EO levels in the air vary greatly based on a number of factors...including exhaust from diesel trucks and automobiles, and the weather conditions. It is premature to draw conclusions from the data."
