Under the Bush Administration, the EPA reviewed over 20 studies that intentionally exposed human subjects to pesticides, provided by pesticide manufacturers, raising ethical concerns. The report states there were widespread deficiencies in the reviewed experiments, including harm to subjects, lack of informed consent, dismissal of adverse outcomes, and scientific invalidity, challenging the justification of these studies as "available, relevant, and appropriate."44 pagesenStaff ReportsBicameralSenate Minority Staff Report4: Agriculture403: Food Inspection and Safety109
