Ethylene Oxide Sterilization

01 January 1970 1 440 Report

Hi all!

I'm currently completing a masters thesis specifically towards the current position of Ethylene oxide as a terminal sterilization process following 2019 when two large plants closed in the US due to health and safety concerns!

The main premise is to assess if there has been a change in attitude of industry towards this ethylene oxide sterilization and if there is any preference or potential incentive to move, and if so, what modality is the most attractive!

I've attached a link to a survey of approximately ten (10) questions here and I'd be grateful if those involved in ethylene oxide sterilization could complete it.

Thanks so much in advance!
