This is unbelievable. Not only has the EPA been conducting dangerous, even potentially lethal experiments on people, but they’ve often failed to make their human subjects aware of all the risks involved, especially long-term risks on those with medical conditions.
This is something you’d expect to read about N. Korea, not the United States:
DAILY CALLER – The Environmental Protection Agency has been conducting dangerous experiments on humans over the past few years in order to justify more onerous clean air regulations.
The agency conducted tests on people with health issues and the elderly, exposing them to high levels of potentially lethal pollutants, without disclosing the risks of cancer and death, according to a newly released government report.
These experiments exposed people, including those with asthma and heart problems, to dangerously high levels of toxic pollutants, including diesel fumes, reads a EPA inspector general report obtained by The Daily Caller News Foundation. The EPA also exposed people with health issues to levels of pollutants up to 50 times greater than the agency says is safe for humans.
The EPA conducted five experiments in 2010 and 2011 to look at the health effects of particulate matter, or PM, and diesel exhaust on humans. The IG’s report found that the EPA did get consent forms from 81 people in five studies. But the IG also found that “exposure risks were not always consistently represented.”

Now, if this had been a big, bad corporation, we’d have wall-to-wall 24-hour coverage. Levin was all over this. Let’s see if anyone besides the conservatives cover it.
Kinda makes the whole raid on USA Brass seem hypocritical now, don’t it?
Seems like the wrong people were exposed to harmful levels of lead.
Nice. We’ll show you how dangerous it is by killing a bunch of people. Then you will want us to keep you safe. Idiots.

Been out of the country since Jug Ears election, huh?
N. Korea…or Nazi Germany?
Tuskegee?
No surprise fits right in with the regimes support and admiration of PP founder Margret Sanger.
The sick and the elderly? Sounds like they are removing burdens to the healthcare system.
marleena – They also used children as test subjects. They’re equal-opportunity Mengeles.
