Nearly 900 of the EPA’s almost 1,600 staff scientists reported political interference in their work over the last five years, according to a study by the Union of Concerned Scientists.
“Our investigation found an agency in crisis,” said Francesca Grifo, director of UCS’s Scientific Integrity Program. “Nearly 900 EPA scientists reported political interference in their scientific work. That’s 900 too many. Distorting science to accommodate a narrow political agenda threatens our environment, our health, and our democracy itself.”
