Congress Bans EPA Data on Human Pesticide Testing

Wow.

The human pesticide testing on children in America called CHEERS - Children's Environmental Exposure Research Study is: "clearly aviolation of Congress' direct prohibition on all testing of pregnant women,infants and children" says Eric Olson, senior attorney for the National Resources Defense Council.

From AHRP:

"The EPA administrators who formulated the statement--"our
proposal.....adheres to the highest ethical standards..." and those who
cynically named a children's pesticide exposure experiment --CHEERS--
have a cultural affinity to those who formulated the Nazi slogan above the
gate to Auschwitz: "Arbeit macht frei" - Work Brings Freedom"


This is scary stuff. More from the Alliance for Human Research Protection with reports from the Washington Post and Sun National.
