Did you know that ethylene oxide (ETO), commonly used to sterilize medical equipment, can pose significant health risks if not properly monitored?
What is ETO, and why is it a concern? ETO is a gas used in veterinary clinics and by medical device suppliers to sterilize thermally sensitive equipment. While effective for sterilization, it is a serious hazard because it is colorless and has little smell to alert staff to exposure.
Over time, uncontrolled exposure can lead to reproductive harm, chronic respiratory irritation and lung damage, and increased cancer risk.
Consider monitoring your team’s exposure to ETO with Air by CCSquared. We offer the only solution validated to account for interfering factors found in veterinary clinics.
