PETA weights on endocrine testing proposal

摘要

An animals rights group is urging EPA not to expand its plans to gauge the endocrine disrupting potential of pesticide ingredients. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals issued its warning in response to an agency request for comments on its chemical selection process for Tier 1 tests (67 FR 79611) (see PTCN, Jan. 6, Page 1). The group beleives that EPA has already expanded its Endocrine Disruptor Screening Program far beyond the mission specified in the FQPA.
