PSR needs your help in defe ating a proposed EPA rule that would hamstring the EPA’s ability t o use scientific data to establish health-protective policy.

EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt has proposed a rule that would ban the EPA from utilizing scientific studies unless all data in those s tudies can be released to the public. Why is that a problem? Some of the b est science draws on hospital databases\, and the rule would require the r elease of patients’ names\, diagnoses\, and the like. This would be a tota l violation of privacy and confidentiality.

That means we lose the right to learn from the very studies that allow scientists to dra w significant conclusions about environmental threats to health.\n

Can you take an extra step to help block this awful rule? Join PSR in speaking out at the EPA’s hearing on this topic\, July 17 in Washington\, DC. Please register here. We need as many people as possibl e to speak out in favor of basing health policy on sound science.
