"The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on Friday finalized a rule to control leaks of a type of pollution from industrial equipment, though critics argued the agency did not go far enough.
The agency announced Monday that it had promulgated a rule to regulate emissions of ethylene oxide, which is used in the production of industrial chemicals. Chronic exposure to ethylene oxide has been associated with cancer and neurotoxicity and short-term exposure has been linked to lung injuries.
EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler said in a statement that the action underscores the Trump administration’s "commitment to addressing and reducing hazardous air pollutants, including ethylene oxide emissions, across the country.”"
