Study raises new health concerns for communities that sit among the chemical plants lining a stretch of the Mississippi River between Baton Rouge and New Orleans .
The Environmental Protection Agency considers long-term exposure to inhaled ethylene oxide gas a cancer risk.
Ethylene oxide is produced in large amounts and used to make a main ingredient in antifreeze and polyester.
There is little high quality measurement around industrial plants, so it's not well understood what residents are exposed to, DeCarlo says.
We wanted to start to do a better job of assessing what those hazardous air pollutant concentrations look like for communities who live in and around industrial facilities,” he says.
