"EPA Program Based on False Information

Friday, November 09, 2001
By Steven Milloy

A scientific study that spawned a federal law requiring the testing of chemicals for their potential to interfere with hormonal processes has been found to be the product of scientific misconduct.

The federal Office of Research Integrity just ruled that Steven F. Arnold, a former researcher at the Tulane University Center for Bioenvironmental Research, "committed scientific misconduct by intentionally falsifying the research results published in the journal Science and by providing falsified and fabricated materials to investigating officials." Arnold lied and then covered up.

The ORI also found that, "there is no original data or other corroborating evidence to support the research results and conclusions reported in the Science paper as a whole." ..."

"..."The new study is the strongest evidence to date that combinations of estrogenic chemicals may be potent enough to significantly increase the risk of breast cancer, prostate cancer, birth defects and other major health concerns, " said then-EPA chief Carol Browner...."
