Advanced Ethylene Oxide Monitoring Solutions
Seamless monitoring for safe and compliant facilities
Montrose Environmental Group and the Sensible Environmental Platform are at the forefront of innovative ethylene oxide (EtO) monitoring solutions. Industries such as medical sterilization, chemical manufacturing, and healthcare facilities face the challenge of meeting stringent regulatory requirements while ensuring the safety of their operations and workers. Our proven, integrated systems, in collaboration with Thermo Fisher Scientific, help these industries by providing reliable, low detection limit technologies that offer real-time monitoring to meet compliance, mitigate risk, and maintain safe working environments.
Decoding the Latest Eto Regulations
With recent updates to the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) and the January 2025 Interim Decision, organizations are under increasing pressure to control ethylene oxide emissions.
Under these regulations:
- Continuous Emissions Monitoring Systems (CEMS) are required for facilities using 100 pounds or more of EtO annually.
- Facilities will be required to update their safety protocols and monitoring systems to meet new standards for worker protection, particularly in indoor environments where EtO is used for sterilization.
- Data must be reported electronically every quarter through
- Facilities that must comply with NESHAP are required to undergo full compliance evaluations at least once every two years.
Timely compliance is critical to avoid penalties and maintain operations, and we’re here to help these facilities meet stringent regulatory standards efficiently.
