EPA Seeks to Prohibit Pesticide Testing Among Pregnant Women, Children, USA
The Environmental Protection Agency on Wednesday proposed excluding children and pregnant women from studies that examine the effects of pesticides on humans, the... AP/Richmond Times-Dispatch reports. The new regulation -- which comes amid criticism that such testing could be detrimental to vulnerable people's health -- would ban all pesticide testing that involves intentionally dosing pregnant women or children. The directive would require researchers who conduct other human testing to submit protocols to EPA for review and states that participants of pesticide tests would have to consent to the risks. In addition, the proposal would create an independent panel, the Human Studies Review Board, which would oversee proposals for human dosing studies. EPA also would be barred from using any data from tests on pregnant women or children, even if they were conducted before the rule took effect (AP/Richmond Times-Dispatch, 9/8). "There is one exception," Jim Jones, director of pesticide programs for EPA, said, adding, "EPA officials can use the data if they would lead to a stronger standard for a pesticide" (Cone, Los Angeles Times, 9/7). The rule is subject to a 90-day public comment period, and the agency seeks to implement it by Jan. 29, 2006 (AP/Richmond Times-Dispatch, 9/8). "This proposed rule contains some of the strongest protections for human subjects ever proposed by the federal government," Jones said on Tuesday (Janofsky, New York Times, 9/6). However, critics said the proposed regulation contains too many loopholes, including allowing the use of data from unintentional or everyday exposure of pregnant women and children to pesticides. "It has so many exceptions, it's not an unvarnished advance," Jeff Ruch, executive director of Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility, said, adding, "There are far more safeguards for similar studies for drugs and medicines to help people" (AP/Richmond Times-Dispatch, 9/8).
