Applying OE-FTIR for Compliance with Ethylene Oxide (EtO) Emissions Test Methods
About
In April 2023, the United States EPA proposed an update to the NESHAP that presents new regulations for monitoring EtO emissions. These regulations address point source emissions and air quality from industries that require EtO, primarily within the realm of commercial sterilization and medical device manufacturing.
Prior to these regulatory updates, there was no continuous monitoring requirement for EtO emissions, so those impacted by the updated NESHPA must be prepared to adopt new equipment and controls for their facilities in order to achieve compliance.
As these rules are finalized, it’s important to learn about the types of monitoring technology available on the market today.
Optically enhanced FTIR (OE-FTIR) stands out for its ability to analyze EtO emissions at concentrations as low as 1-ppb, even in challenging sample matrices off a stack. Learn how OE-FTIR ensures exceptional data quality amid high interferences and sample variability.
By attending this webinar, your audience will learn:
• What performance specifications are outlined for CEMS that monitor EtO
• How OE-FTIR exceeds the requirements for continuous EtO monitoring
• Why OE-FTIR provides a reliable and robust solution for environmental health and safety
Who is this webinar for?
This webinar will benefit industry professionals who are impacted by the updated EtO regulations in areas such as:
• Chemical manufacturing
• Commercial sterilization
• Medical device production
• Environmental compliance managers
• Environmental health and safety professionals
• Regulatory agencies
