"Sterigenics is still venting ethylene oxide into neighborhoods surrounding its facility in west suburban Willowbrook, according to federal testing that revealed spikes of the volatile, cancer-causing gas higher than concentrations detected before the company installed new pollution-control equipment last year.
But a top Trump administration official told residents on Tuesday that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency doesn’t have enough evidence to take action against the company.
Nor is the agency any closer to answering urgent questions about long-term health dangers from toxic pollution the company’s neighbors have been breathing for more than three decades, most of that time unknowingly."
