Polluted Science is a critical study of the EPA’s decision in 1997 to tighten national standards for measuring air quality. Michael Fumento examines the standards used by the EPA and the benefits the EPA hoped to reap by their utlilization.

While the Clean Air Act forbids the EPA to take economic costs into account in setting health standards, an executive order of President Clinton requires it to make a cost-benefit analysis anyway.
