Royal Sterilization Systems: Ethylene oxide-led volume
Among the 371 Miscellaneous Manufacturing facilities in this database, Royal Sterilization Systems reports the 113th-largest volume (8.4K lbs). Its reported volume is concentrated rather than spread: Ethylene oxide alone is 100% of the total. Carcinogen-classified chemicals make up 100% of the reported pounds, not just of the chemical count. Scale peers outside Tennessee include Dermamed Coatings Co and Techline Products.
Concentrated means ≥60% of Royal Sterilization Systems's pounds in one chemical - here Ethylene oxide at 100%. Not a toxicity score.
