PS-19 Test Results Show Picarro CRDS Far Outperforms OE-FTIR 

The US EPA recently finalized the updates to 40 CFR 63, Subpart O (otherwise known as the Commercial Sterilizer National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants/NESHAP).  The updated rule came into effect through the Risk and Technology Review (RTR) and aims to address Ethylene Oxide (EtO, EO) emissions from point sources and room air emissions. 

Indoor air quality is highly correlated with the health of employees in workplaces where toxic gases are present. Companies using EtO need to adopt new monitoring approaches that provide a fast response and are specific and sensitive to low concentration levels of fugitive emissions. This new blog describes how to better monitor fugitive EtO emissions in the workplace with Picarro EtO monitoring solutions.

Ethylene oxide (EtO) is frequently used in sterilization processes, however, hazards exist from exposure to this toxic gas. This blog reviews the evolving federal rules governing source and fugitive emissions and highlights how Picarro and partners are enabling companies to monitor emissions and generate the defensible data they need to comply.
