    EPA WILL USE POOR KIDS AS GUINEA PIGS IN NEW STUDY ON PESTICIDES Organic Consumers Association
    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), led by Bush appointees, plans to launch a new study in which participating low income families will have their children exposed to toxic pesticides over the course of two years. The study entitled CHEERS (Children’s Environmental Exposure Research Study) will look at how chemicals can be ingested, inhaled or absorbed by children ranging from babies to 3 years old.

    For taking part in these studies, each family will receive $970, a free video camera, a T-shirt, and a framed certificate of appreciation.
