Regulatory agencies such as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) have set standards to limit epoxide exposure. These regulations include permissible exposure limits (PELs) and guidelines for safe handling. Moreover, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classifies certain epoxides, like ethylene oxide, as carcinogenic to humans. Compliance with these standards is crucial to ensure the safety and well-being of workers and the general public.
