CHAIR'S REPORT  
Chair Conroy made the following remarks:  
This morning, I hope you’ll join me in congratulating our own Chief Information Officer  
Anthony McPhearson who was selected among hundreds of entrants to WIN the Chicago CIO  
Orbie Award in the category of non-profit or public sector achievement. The Orbies honor chief  
information officers who have demonstrated excellence in technology leadership. Anthony,  
please accept our congratulations on this well-deserved honor.  
As you prepare your summer calendar I hope you’ll consider having a little fun and raising some  
money for our friends at the DuPage Care Center. Registration is now open for the 22nd Annual  
Care Center Golf Outing being held June 26th at Prairie Landing Golf Club in West Chicago. All  
proceeds contribute to programs that enrich the lives of our Care Center residents. Information is  
available at www.dpccfoundation.org <http://www.dpccfoundation.org>  
And finally, you may have noticed our County flag is at half-staff. I asked for the County flag to  
be lowered today in honor of K-9 Nitro, who passed away at the age of 10. Since 2019, Nitro  
faithfully served alongside his partner and handler, Deputy Frank Carragher, as an explosives  
recognition dog assigned to the DuPage County Sheriff’s Office Hazardous Device Unit.  
Throughout his distinguished career, Nitro earned the respect and admiration of all who worked  
with him through his unwavering dedication, exceptional abilities, and dependable service.

EN-R-0005-26  
Resolution Opposing U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Rescission of Ethylene  
Oxide Emissions Standards for Sterilization Facilities Residual Risk and Technology  
Review Rule  
WHEREAS, ethylene oxide (EtO) is a flammable, colorless gas that is used to  
sterilize medical devices and is a potent and known carcinogen, its discharge or emission  
into the atmosphere constitutes a threat to public health and the environment; and  
WHEREAS, more than 14.2 million people live within five miles of an EtO-emitting  
facility in the United States, with a 2023 Union of Concerned Scientists’ study finding  
that the average risk of cancer from air toxics was nearly three times the national average  
in communities located near EtO emitting facilities; and  
WHEREAS, in 2018 and 2019, DuPage County worked with the Villages of  
Willowbrook, Burr Ridge, Hinsdale, and the City of Darien (the "Communities") to  
oppose emissions of EtO by Sterigenics, in the County; and  
WHEREAS, in 2018, DuPage County State’s Attorney, Robert Berlin, and the Illinois  
Attorney General, Lisa Madigan, together brought a lawsuit under the Illinois  
Environmental Protection Act for injunctive relief and civil remedies to redress the  
harmful effects of EtO; and  
WHEREAS, in 2018 the DuPage County Board amended the DuPage County  
Code prohibiting emissions of EtO more than one hundred tons per year to protect the  
residents of DuPage County; and  
WHEREAS, as a result of these actions, the State of Illinois passed tighter  
restrictions on ethylene oxide use in Public Act 101-0022, wherein EtO sterilization  
facilities are prohibited from operating in Illinois unless the facility captures 100 percent  
of all fugitive EtO emissions within the facility and the facility reduces EtO emissions to  
the atmosphere from each exhaust point by at least 99.9 percent or to 0.2 parts per  
million; and  
WHEREAS, in 2024, the federal government found that EtO poses a risk to  
workers, healthcare facility and nearby communities and therefore established rules  
which created more stringent standards regarding the use and emission of EtO; and  
WHEREAS, on March 17, 2026, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S.  
EPA) proposed amending its EtO standards for commercial sterilizers and the proposed  
rule would rescind the tighter risk-based emissions standards imposed by the federal  
government in its 2024 rule and is estimated to result in an emissions increase of 7.8 tons  
per year for the total source category; and  
WHEREAS, the rollbacks and deregulation of the use of EtO would be  
detrimental to public health, with a 2016 U.S. EPA study finding that EtO is 30 times  
more toxic to adults and 60 times more toxic to children than previously understood; and  
WHEREAS, DuPage County calls upon the U.S. EPA to protect all Americans  
from exposure to EtO, while working with the sterilization industry to invest in research  
and technology programs to develop safe, sustainable solutions for sterilization needs.  
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the DuPage County Board take  
such actions to support and collaborate with the impacted communities, the health and  
environmental agencies, to best promote and ensure the safety of the area air quality,  
atmosphere, and environment, to protect area residents and workers from the adverse  
health impacts of any discharges or emissions of EtO; and  
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that written copies of this Resolution be transmitted  
to the United States and Illinois Environmental Protection Agencies, the Office of the  
Attorney General of the State of Illinois, and the Office of the DuPage County State’s  
Attorney for continued or further action as requested.
