Article Synopsis
- Ethylene oxide (EtO) is a volatile organic compound and carcinogen, with limited reliable data on its ambient concentrations near production facilities, raising exposure concerns.
- In February 2023, sensitive mobile measurements in southeastern Louisiana showed that 75% of sampled areas had EtO levels above the threshold associated with a 1-in-a-million cancer risk, with some locations exceeding levels indicating a 1-in-1,000 risk.
- This study revealed higher EtO concentrations than previous EPA estimates and highlights the need for improved monitoring methods to assess exposure risks in industrial areas.
Picosecond X-ray absorption measurements of the ligand substitution dynamics of Fe(CO)5 in ethanol.

April 2011
Ultrafast X-ray absorption near edge spectroscopy has been carried out for photo excited iron pentacarbonyl in ethanol with 2 picosecond resolution. A temporal resolution limited dissociation process was observed, followed by the formation of the mono-substituted complex Fe(CO)(4)EtOH within a few tens of picoseconds. The measurements have been carried out with a newly developed X-ray absorption instrument at station 7 ID-C of the Advanced Photon Source.
