Feds Running ‘Illegal’ Experiments on Humans
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has been arguing for years that the presence of small particulates, things like diesel engine emissions and the smokestack vapor from coal-fired power plants, is killing Americans . . .
But now a team of scientists is calling for the National Research Council of the National Academy of Sciences to punish the “scientific misconduct” by the EPA in its research on the issue . . .
Officials with the Heartland Institute discussed the EPA’s new and troubling dilemma in an email.
“EPA has been sponsoring experiments on human subjects involving exposures to small particle air pollution that EPA has declared publicly and repeatedly to be toxic, lethal, and carcinogenic,” the organization said. “This creates a dilemma for EPA: Either it broke the law by sponsoring human experiments forbidden under law and medical ethics, or its repeated claims to Congress and the American people about the health threat of exposure to low levels of particulate matter were a lie.”
Several of the scientists and physicians from the institute, a national nonprofit headquartered in Arlington Heights, Illinois, and dedicated to discovering, developing and promoting free-market solutions to social and economic problems, recently addressed a NRC meeting on the issue.
