EPW
Committee Moves Nominations Forward at Business Meeting
“Michael Dourson, nominee to be assistant administrator for the Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention at the EPA….
“Michael Dourson, nominee to be assistant administrator for the Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention at the EPA….
William Wehrum, nominee to be assistant administrator for
the Office of Air and Regulation at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)”
“Regrettably, I am concerned that Dr. Dourson is not the
leader that we need for that job. Never in the history of the EPA has a nominee
to lead the Chemical Safety Office had such deep ties to industry. Never has a
nominee had such a long record of recommending chemical safety standards that
are as much as thousands of times less protective, thousands of times less
protective than those recommended by regulators. Never has a nominee, to my
knowledge, so consistently underestimated the risks of chemical exposures to
the most vulnerable among us.”- STATEMENT
OF THE HONORABLE THOMAS R. CARPER, (pg 9).
