Facing the challenge of meeting changing United States’ Environmental Protection Agencies (EPA) regulations for ethylene oxide emissions monitoring can be daunting. However, with the right tools and support, it can become manageable. State-of-the-art solutions can detect the toxic ethylene oxide gas with precision, aiding in compliance navigation, ensuring smooth operations, and protecting workers in their breathing zone.
Ethylene oxide (EtO) is used in applications such as medical equipment sterilization and chemical manufacturing. As a known carcinogen and air pollutant, it is critical to monitor to address both emissions and workplace air monitoring.
The Thermo Scientific MAX-iAQ Ambient Air Monitoring System and EMS-10 Continuous Emissions Monitoring System (CEMS) systems are ideal solutions for monitoring low-level EtO emissions in real time. They provide immediate detection of leaks and exceed US EPA standards with an LOD of 1 parts-per-billion (ppb) with less than 15 seconds responsivities. These robust and reliable systems require minimal downtime and low maintenance, ensuring your operations continue without interruption. Our comprehensive support includes technical expertise for installation, field service, and applications support.
Trust in a solution that safeguards indoor air quality and protects workers from potential exposure to this hazardous gas. With the right system, managing and reducing these risks becomes achievable, ensuring a safe and compliant workplace.
Understanding the EPA’s final NESHAP ruling for commercial EtO sterilizers.
Q&A: Industry experts delve into the regulatory guidelines and technology solutions for compliance and long-term resiliency.
Learn how the MAX-iR FTIR gas analyzers, using optically-enhanced FTIR (OE-FTIR) technology, overcome the specific challenges of monitoring EtO trace gases which presents difficulties due to low concentration and high reactivity.
The MAX-iAQ is a fully automated, 20-channel ambient air monitoring system for addressing newly proposed regulations for worker safety. The system is capable of detecting ethylene oxide with a detection limit of 1 ppb and total cycle time of 10 minutes.
The EMS-10 is a fully automated, four-channel stack emissions monitoring system that complies with the approved ethylene oxide NESHAP Rule. The system is capable of detecting ethylene oxide with a detection limit of 1 ppb.
Recently approved US EPA regulations address air quality and point source emissions from industries that use ethylene oxide (EtO). Companies must prepare to adopt new equipment and controls for monitoring EtO in compliance with updated NESHAP guidelines.
OE-FTIR spectroscopy stands out for its ability to analyze EtO emissions at concentrations as low as 1 ppb, even in challenging sample matrices off a stack. This webinar explains in depth how OE-FTIR technology can be used to provide high-quality data, even amid interferences and sample variability, and in turn help facilities that use EtO achieve compliance with new stricter standards.
