Dr. Paulus Simadibrata, Sp.PD, an internal medicine specialist from the University of Indonesia, said that ethylene oxide is one of the substances that is dangerous if it enters the body.
"Ethylene oxide is a substance that is harmful to the body. So, it's usually used in food industry techniques," said Dr. Paulus when met by ANTARA in Jakarta on Friday.
The doctor, who currently practices at Abdi Waluyo Hospital, said that ethylene oxide is commonly used in the food industry. However, its use should be moderate.
