One elected official who does get it is Congressman Brad Schneider, who said late last week the U.S. House Appropriations Committee has included funding for the federal EPA to undertake ambient air monitoring of ethylene oxide. The Deerfield Democrat, whose 10th Congressional District includes Waukegan, pointed out the $5.6 million funding increase, which also has to be approved by the Senate, would support air monitoring for communities identified by the National Air Toxics Assessment as facing high levels of EtO emissions, including those in Lake County.
