The Papers are a 20,000 document trove of industry and regulatory papers collected primarily by Carol Van Strum and just published by us on DocumentCloud. In 1978, EPA, faced with evidence of rampant fraud over chemical safety testing at the largest independent lab in the country, had a secret meeting with the chemical industry. The newly-revealed transcript of that meeting shows how EPA endangered the public by covering up this scandal to protect chemicals that are still on the market today. Please share if you find this story valuable.
