A lawsuit against Sterigenics became the first to go to trial over the release of ethylene oxide at the company's WIllowbrook facility.

It is accused of illegally releasing ethylene oxide, a cancer-causing waste, into the air at its Willowbrook facility from when it opened in 1984 until the facility was permanently closed in 2019.That allegedly led to a number of cancer cases in the southwest suburbs.

Thursday morning, a lawsuit filed by cancer patient Sue Kamuda became the first case against Sterigenics to go to trial. She is seeking $20 million in damages after developing breast cancer.Kamuda lived about a third of a mile from the plant and her children attended school within a mile of the plant. Her son Brian was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in 2021 and his case is expected to go to trial at a later date.Copyright © 2022 WLS-TV. All Rights Reserved.
