Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) to Perform Cancer Incidence Study as recommended by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR)
One of the recommendations within the recently released report from the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) was that the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) investigate whether there are elevated cancers in the population surrounding the Sterigenics facility that are consistent with the types of cancer associated with chronic ethylene oxide exposures. The Village received the attached letter from the IDPH today pertaining to the study.
