On October 18, 2022, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will host two open houses and community meetings at the Monumental Baptist Church at 704 S Pkwy E, Memphis, Tenn. to provide residents an opportunity to learn more about commercial sterilizers that release high levels of a chemical called ethylene oxide (EtO) into the air, including Sterilization Services of TN (SST) located at 2396 Florida Street in Memphis
