Adequate monitoring of ethylene oxide concentrations in the workplace is essential for employee safety. Three methods of monitoring EO levels--personnel monitoring, infrared spectrometry, and continuous gas monitoring--were evaluated for use in a hospital central sterile reprocessing department. The continuous gas monitor was found to be a cost-effective, comprehensive system for monitoring ambient EO levels.
