The EPA Is Hiding Proof That a Widely Used Chemical Causes Leukemia

The EPA has testified that they know formaldehyde causes leukemia and other cancers. If this is a known carcinogen, why are manufacturers still allowed to put it in everything from furniture polish to shampoo?

“It’s my understanding,” the Massachusetts senator said, “that the EPA has finalized its conclusion that formaldehyde causes leukemia and other cancers and that [the] completed new assessment is ready to be released for public review, but is being held up.”

“You know, my understanding is similar to yours,” Pruitt replied.
