REVEALED: EPA Admits To Life-Threatening Experiments On Humans

The Environmental Protection Agency’s own inspector general has admitted that the agency didn’t tell human “guinea pigs” the potential dangers of breathing in diesel fumes in an experiment. An inspector general’s report issued on March 31 verifies a story about the experiments Off the Grid News ran last year. “The EPA has been conducting controlled exposure studies for about 40 years,” the inspector general’s report admitted. “In controlled exposure studies, human subjects are intentionally exposed to pollutants under controlled conditions.” The EPA was responding to allegations that it had paid people to sit in a room and breathe in diesel fumes in an experiment designed to determine the effects of air pollution on human beings. The allegations were made in a lawsuit brought by an organization called the Energy & Environmental Legal Institute in 2012. Among the people in the experiments were those with health problems such as asthma. “It is difficult to overstate the atrocity of this research,” said David Schnare, one of the attorneys who filed the suit. Here’s how his organization described the research that was done at the EPA’s Human Studies Facility at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill: EPA parked a truck’s exhaust pipe directly beneath an intake pipe on the side of a building.
