Ethylene oxide is a known carcinogen What evidence do you have that it comes in contact with people having a Covid test? If not contacted it's not a problem, unless people want to start eating Covid tests as if they were Tide pods.

I have had a few dozen tests for work. The only thing you come in contact with is a sterile Q tip.

Ethylene oxide is the sterilizer being used in all UK swabs, at the very least. May be used in other countries as well.
