环境保护局提议削弱对环氧乙烷的空气污染限制,乙烷是一种致癌化学品,用于对注射器和心脏起搏器等医疗装置进行消毒,从而扭转了旨在将排放量减少90%的拜登时代规则。 The Environmental Protection Agency proposed weakening air pollution limits on ethylene oxide, a cancer-causing chemical used to sterilize medical devices like syringes and pacemakers, reversing a Biden-era rule that aimed to cut emissions by 90%. 在特朗普政府领导下的迁移行动声称,现行标准威胁到国内基本医疗设备供应链。 The move, under the Trump administration, claims current standards threaten the domestic supply chain for essential medical equipment. 包括公共卫生和环境团体在内的批评者警告说,退步会增加工人和附近社区的癌症风险,特别是在绝育设施附近的少数民族社区。 Critics, including public health and environmental groups, warn the rollback increases cancer risks for workers and nearby communities, especially in minority neighborhoods near sterilization facilities. 该提案是更广泛的环境监管倒退格局的一部分。 The proposal is part of a broader pattern of environmental regulatory rollbacks.
