U.S. House Republicans attack Report on Carcinogens

Tomorrow (Wed) the U.S. House Committee on Science is hosting a hearing titled, “How the Report on Carcinogens Uses Science to Meet its Statutory Obligations, and its Impact on Small Business Jobs”. It is a thinly-veiled attack on the National Toxicology Program Report on Carcinogens by the chemical industry, that dominate the witness list. However, one witness will be a small business that makes safer chemicals to replace styrene and argues that less-toxic products is good for business. The event will be webcast. http://science.house.gov/hearing/committee-science-space-technology-subcommittee-investigations-oversight-and-committee-small
