Trump officials accused of stacking top chemical safety board with industry ‘mouthpieces’

Public health advocates are raising alarms about the Trump administration filling a key chemical safety board with industry-friendly scientists who have financial ties to the chemical industry. These experts are accused of potentially justifying deregulation efforts, which could endanger public health. Critics warn this move creates conflicts of interest that could undermine rigorous safety standards. The implications are significant, as the board's decisions directly affect the regulation of toxic chemicals and the protection of communities from harmful exposures.
