Totally unacceptable as well as utterly despicable!
No provision should be permitted to serve as legal cover for corporate criminality or even taken seriously in it that allows info re: such highly dangerous toxins to be kept secret.
Enough of this decades upon decades upon decades of corporate greed taking precedence over public safety. Is there any way to sue both the EPA and the corporate criminals into doing the right thing and releasing this information?
No wonder we are so fucked as a nation - talk about corporate/regulatory capture of the U.S. gov't!
