High Concentration of Airborne Cancer Causing Toxin Found in Georgia

Gerogia residents in Smyrna and Covington are just now learning
that their neighborhoods have an elevated cancer risk because of
exposure to airborne toxins. In August 2018, the Environmental
Protection Agency published a report showing 109 census tracts with
high concentrations of ethylene oxide, a gas used to sterilize
medical equipment. Two use before, the agency placed the chemical
on a list of those that “definitely cause cancer.”
