Ethylene oxide (EtO) is a colorless gas used to make other chemicals that are used in making a range of products, including antifreeze, textiles, plastics, detergents and adhesives.
EtO is also found in tobacco smoke. In addition, very small amounts of EtO exist in nature, including in the human body. Low levels of ethylene oxide have been measured in the air in many areas of the United States without any known source; everyone is exposed to some EtO.
Ethylene oxide (EtO) is a flammable, colorless gas at temperatures above 51.3 oF (10.7 oC) that smells like ether at toxic levels. EtO is found in the production of solvents, antifreeze, textiles, detergents, adhesives, polyurethane foam, and pharmaceuticals.
Ethylene oxide (EtO) is a flammable, colorless, and reactive gas. It is a synthetic chemical created as a byproduct of human (i.e., anthropogenic) activities or generated as a natural metabolic product of ethylene by microbes, plants, and animals, including humans (i.e., biogenic).
Ethylene oxide (also known as EO or EtO) is a low temperature gaseous process widely used to sterilize a variety of healthcare products, such as single-use medical devices.
Workers may be exposed to EtO if they work in places where EtO is produced or used, such as chemical plants and commercial and hospital sterilizers. These workers may have higher-than-average exposure.
Review best practices and troubleshooting tips for logging in. This webinar focuses on best practices for logging into the ETO (Efforts to Outcomes) system, addressing both user and administrator perspectives.
Ethylene oxide (EtO) is a flammable, colorless gas used to sterilize medical equipment and other plastics that are sensitive to heat or moisture. And it is a building-block chemical used to make other chemicals, including antifreeze and some plastics. It's also a health threat to workers and communities.
