"In setting limits on chemicals in food and water, the Environmental Protection Agency [3] may rely on industry tests that expose people to poisons," reported Associated Press. The EPA's draft plan suggests that Bush administration [4] political appointees will evaluate studies using "a case-by-case process." EPA's Office of Pesticide Programs' senior policy adviser said human studies would be accepted, "unless they are fundamentally unethical or have significant deficiencies." A pesticide industry lawsuit resulted in a 2003 ruling that EPA "cannot refuse to consider industry tests involving people on a case-by-case basis," until it issues new rules. Widespread criticism recently led the EPA to suspend a study on "how children's bodies absorb pesticides [5]."
