This is the scene at O’Hare airport. The traveler who took the photo said it’s a 6-hour wait for bags then on to customs for 2-4 more of waiting in shoulder-to-shoulder crowds. Police are handing out water and disinfectant wipes. @fly2ohare#ord#coronavirus#COVID19
@mj60031@GovPritzker@SenatorBush Three plants — Baxter in Round Lake self-reported 590 lbs of EtO emissions in 2014. Higher cancer risks on NATA map than surrounding tracts.
@amenasaiyid@gregmhenderson@ReneeSchoof@AnnaYukha UIC Blood tests show significantly elevated levels of EtO hemoglobin adduct levels in residents living near IL EtO plants. IL has not protected these residents to date.Reports of many EtO-linked cancers by plants. @StopEtOLC
Thus far only participants of the blood study have received the results. UIC will be releasing an official press release in the coming week with a full summary. Dr. Buchanan will be explaining the results during an informational meeting on Jan 12th at 2:30pm (Gurnee library).
@Bruninga - #UIC Blood test results show significantly elevated levels of ethylene oxide hemoglobin adduct levels in residents living near two Lake County ethylene oxide plants. Despite Willowbrook closure, IL still has failed to act to protect Lake County residents.

If this doesn’t clearly show the impact of EtO emissions then... How are commercial sterilizes operating safely when we have data like this?! This is a national crisis @EPAAWheeler @EPAair @MomsAction@EPA@StopSterigenics@AmericanCancer#twill
@VillofGrayslake - Can you assure residents with 100% certainty that the new Medline plant will not store ethylene oxide, or use the facility to off-gas sterilized products? Are residents impacted by ethylene oxide emissions from Baxter? @StopEtOLC
