What’s Up with Chrome?

Here is a story that has long been under the radar. I strongly urge you to read this article in today’s WaPo, then head over to Environmental Health and get the paper. This puts my profession in a very unappealing light, particularly coming on the heels of this story, and this story. It has less to do with hexavalent chromium as it does about scientific integrity in general. Manufacturing uncertainty about occupational and environmental health hazards seems to be a growth industry (we’ll see brochures from consulting firms offering it as a service before long). Unfortunately, at this moment, I don’t have the blogging time available to do this topic justice. While I fight to get my head above water, use this as your resource guide.
