Study Faults EPA Pesticide Reviews and Safety Delays

Edward Kennedy notes reliance on old tests and delayed action on leptophos, which may affect human nervous systems and could cause cancer or birth defects. The panel cites a 1972 testing mandate with a 1976 deadline, later extended to 1977, and questions data validation that delayed market decisions.
