Ethylene Oxide Measurements From OSHA Workplace Investigations: Patterns in Exposure by Industry, Occupation, and Over Time
Contemporary EtO exposures for key industries and occupational categories are poorly characterized. Still, exposures in the industrial sterilization industry appear higher than in other industries and have proportionally declined the least over time. Additional exposure assessment research and further efforts in occupational risk assessment are important to better understand the health burdens of workers exposed to EtO.
