The EPA ,in their crusade to justify ever more draconian regulations on the American people, have been conducting experiments on humans. They have
deliberately exposing people ; including children with asthma and other health issues, to pollution to justify new air quality standards.
They released a report this week called 'Improvements to EPA Policies and Guidance Could Enhance Protection of Human Study Subjects"
http://www.epa.gov/oig/reports/2014/...-14-P-0154.pdf
They admit that they "exposed 81 human study subjects to concentrated airborne particles or diesel exhaust emissions in five EPA studies conducted during 2010 and 2011." ....levels of pollutants up to 50 times greater than the EPA itself says is safe for humans.
There were consent forms signed by the victims .However according to the Daily Caller ;
“only one of five studies’ consent forms provided the subject with information on the upper range of the pollutant” they would be exposed to, but even more alarming is that only “two of five alerted study subjects to the risk of death for older individuals with cardiovascular disease.”
Report: EPA tested deadly pollutants on humans to push agenda | The Daily Caller
The EPA claims that they did not mentions risks like cancer because the agency considered the risks minimal from short-term exposure.
They exposed children to pollution as part of an experiment at the University of Southern California (USC ) ;giving the university grant money to study how particulate matter affects asthma in susceptible children.Quote:
three of the studies exposed human subjects to high levels of particulate matter while two of the studies exposed people to high levels of diesel exhaust and ozone. Diesel exhaust contains 40 toxic air contaminants, including 19 that are known carcinogens and particulate matter.
David Schnare, a former EPA scientist, said:
Attachment 45901Quote:
EPA parked a truck's exhaust pipe directly beneath an intake pipe on the side of a building. The exhaust was sucked into the pipe, mixed with some additional air and then piped directly into the lungs of the human subjects. EPA actually has pictures of this gas chamber, a clear plastic pipe stuck into the mouth of a subject, his lips sealing it to his face, diesel fumes inhaled straight into his lungs.
CHAPEL HILL: Report: EPA fails to disclose risks in human tests
Senator David Vitter reacted by saying “When justifying a job-killing regulation, EPA argues exposure to particulate matter is deadly, but when they are conducting experiments, they say human exposure studies are not harmful.” .....“This is a prime example of how EPA handpicks what scientific information and uncertainties they use to support their overreaching agenda.”

Chairman of the EPA Oversight sub-committee Paul Broun said that “it is abhorrent for EPA to be conducting these human experiments without providing robust information and notification to the patients about the risks of death and following the strictest protocols. This blatant disregard for the safety and well-being of others is despicable, and the proper steps must be taken to ensure that such carelessness does not occur again.”
