Read an interesting article today in my local news about a medical device company that is putting out high amounts of a toxic gas called Ethylene oxide, which is said to increase cancer and blood pressure with long-term exposure.
The article focused on the ~700 residence near by that could be at higher risk due to this emissions but said nothing concerning those that work at the plant itself.
So now workers are working in a medical device company that could cause health problems down the road which in turn will cause them to need the very products they once helped produce.
Keep in mind that, per the EPA, this company is in regulation but the EPA is working to rewrite this regulation to reduce this gas emissions.
For a company that has the Motto of “advancing the world of health”, this just shows where company priorities truly are.
