Washington - The editors-in-chief of six major scientific review journals on Tuesday denounced a pending US regulation that would limit the scientific process for developing environmental and public health policies.
But a new rule -- in the process of being finalized -- would have an even more significant effect by restricting which studies EPA employees could use when drafting new regulations. Such a requirement would make it impossible, for example, to use the countless studies that were based on individuals' medical data.
The EPA also intends to make the transparency rule retroactive, according to The New York Times, which could call into question decades of regulations on air quality, water mercury levels or lead levels in paint.
