Jan Hasselman staff attorney with Earthjustice in Seattle talks about the lawsuit filed against the EPA. Pesticide companies should not be allowed to take advantage of
vulnerable populations by enticing people to serve as human laboratory

“EPA’s rule ignores Congress and allows unethical human tests to be used to weaken pesticide regulations.”
The lawsuits were filed simultaneously in New York City and in San Francisco by Pesticide Action Network North America, Pineros y Campesinos Unidos del
Noroeste (Northwest Treeplanters and Farmworkers United), San Francisco
Bay Area Physicians for Social Responsibility, and Natural Resources

His close friend, Peter La Vaute, who now runs the institute, will join us to talk about Dennis’ environmental legacy. LISTEN (11 min)
