A Convenient Blunder, Ctd

A reader writes concerning testing blunders discovered regarding a pesticide:

There are about ~80,000 industrial chemicals in common use in the US. OSHA regulates about about 600 of them by establishing enforceable exposure limits. Most of the “science” behind these limits is more than 40 years old. EPA regulates another 400. The simple fact is nobody knows what exposure is safe for the overwhelming majority of chemicals we come into contact with every day.

Not to mention what they’ll do to the wildlife if they’re permitted to dump right into the environment.
