  Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-GA) issued the following statement over the growing health concerns in Georgia’s 11th Congressional District regarding Sterigenics use of ethylene oxide gas, used in the sterilization of medical equipment:

This is a multi-faceted, complex issue, which is why my office has stayed in contact with the Georgia Environmental Protection Division (EPD), the Center for Disease Control (CDC), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Sterigenics, and others, who are working to make sure those who live and work in these areas are safe.
