Board Adopts Final EtO Air Monitoring RulesJan212021.pdf | |
On January 21, 2021, the Board issued a final opinion and order adopting new Part 249 of its air pollution regulations. Part 249 requires the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) to monitor ambient air across Illinois for background levels of ethylene oxide (EtO). EtO is a flammable gas that has many uses, including sterilizing medical equipment. Under the adopted rules, IEPA must monitor for EtO in or around the locations of Northbrook, Schiller Park, Nilwood, Alton, and Bondville—where IEPA has monitoring stations. IEPA must monitor for six consecutive calendar months and place the air monitoring results on its website. | |
