Cancer Pollutants from Sterigenics Facility

An industrial plant, operated by Sterigenics, released cancer-causing toxic emissions into Willowbrook and surrounding communities for decades, putting nearby residents, workers, and students at serious risk of cancer.


This facility, now shut down, was located at 7775 Quincy Street in Willowbrook.


Toxic Polluting


This plant used ethylene oxide (EtO), a known human carcinogen, to treat medical equipment. In the process, toxic EtO was released into the surrounding areas, exposing people as far as two miles away.


The facility was identified by the EPA as a toxic EtO polluter.


Sterigenics operated in Willowbrook from 1984 to 2019, exposing tens of thousands of people in the area to an increased risk of cancer.


We’re Here to Help


When corporations fail to meet their clean air obligations, we hold them accountable.


Our attorneys are proud to represent people from the Chicago area and all across the country. We are one of the largest environmental law firms in the US.


If you lived, worked, or attended school near these facilities and have been diagnosed with cancer, you may be eligible for significant financial compensation.

Ethylene Oxide: Odorless, Colorless, Toxic

Ethylene Oxide: Odorless, Colorless, Toxic

Ethylene oxide is used to make various industrial chemicals, such as ethylene glycol. It is also commonly used to sterilize medical equipment and other goods.

EtO is an odorless and colorless gas, so residents would have no idea it is surrounding their home or place of work. It poses severe health hazards, and chronic exposure can lead to serious health issues. The EPA classified ethylene oxide as a human carcinogen.


Cancers associated with EtO:


  • Breast
  • Leukemia
  • Lymphoma
  • Myeloma/Multiple Myeloma
  • Pediatric

If you were injured by a vehicle while riding an e-bike or e-scooter — whether you rented it from an app, or own it — you may be eligible for financial compensation.


Many riders worry that they can’t take action due to signing agreements on apps, not wearing a helmet or fear they’d have to go after the scooter or bike company. That’s not what we do.


Our firm does not target Lime, Bird, Segway Ninebot, or other similar big brands in these cases. Instead, we fight the insurance companies that are truly responsible. When a car driver’s negligence causes your injury, their insurance should pay for your medical bills, lost income, and the pain they caused — not you.


If you were seriously hurt in an accident, fill in the form above or call us today for a confidential and free conversation with one of our attorneys or paralegals.

Popular e-bike and e-scooter brands:


  • Lime
  • Bird
  • Veo
  • Spin
  • Lyft
  • Rad Power Bikes
  • Pedego
  • Aventon
  • Lectric eBikes
  • Segway Ninebot
