I am very alarmed by the attack on the US EPA/Office of Research and Development (ORD). The US EPA/ORD toxicologists, chemists, biologists, risk assessors, and others do very important work and provide essential toxicological information for assessing risk and protecting the American people. Additionally, they maintain extremely important databases of results from research and toxicology studies. This action to gut US EPA/ORD is reckless and leaves the American people vulnerable. Loss of monitoring and data collection is simply wishful thinking that the chemicals will do no harm.
