Eligibility for an EtO breast cancer claim requires that you lived within three miles of an ethylene oxide emitting facility. EtO is an odorless airborne gas, and facilities can emit significant quantities of it each year. Residents within that three-mile radius may have been breathing contaminated air for months or years without any awareness of the exposure.
Two categories of documentation form the foundation of a claim: proof of residence within three miles of an EtO facility and proof of a cancer diagnosis connected to EtO exposure. Supporting documents to prove your residence include:

If a claim is successful, compensation may include medical treatment costs, lost wages, and personal damages. For cases involving a deceased family member, funeral and burial costs may also be recoverable.
