Sonata Scientific is pleased to be working with Picarro, an industry leader, to address fugitive EtO emissions. Our products effectively measure and control challenging EtO levels throughout the medical device supply chain. Together we’re driving innovation for a safer future! #EtO #EthyleneOxide #FIFRA
📄🔬Medical device sterilizers are faced with major challenges in monitoring and controlling indoor fugitive ethylene oxide (EtO) emissions, particularly as they grapple with recent changes in the EPA’s EtO NESHAP and FIFRA regulations. Effective management of EtO fugitive emissions is particularly challenging because of the absence of proven products and methodologies to address EtO levels in the 0.1-10 ppm range in the workplace. Picarro and Sonata Scientific are changing this!🌟🚀 In this white paper, authors Melissa Petruska of Sonata Scientific and Jonathan Bent of Picarro describe the performance of the Sonata Scientific Helios™ line of EtO Control products, the platform, and its suitability for abating EtO in challenging areas of commercial sterilizer facilities.

As the new NESHAP and FIFRA regulations come into effect, the Helios abatement systems and Picarro’s ultra-sensitive 25-point Workplace Monitoring Systems will be key tools for the sterilization industry to monitor and abate EtO and to keep workers safe and facilities compliant. #EmissionsMonitoring #EPA #EtO #EtONESHAP #EthyleneOxide #FIFRA #NESHAP
