US politicians query EPA on herbicide risk assessments

摘要

The chairman and ranking member of the US House of Representatives' Agriculture Committee are "troubled" by the EPA's recent decisions to post on its website and then quickly remove risk assessments of the herbicides, glyphosate and atrazine. "These mistakes indicate systemic problems with EPA's management of its chemical review and publication processes," according to a letter sent on May 11th to EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy.
