The House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology has launched an investigation into the Environmental Protection Agency’s review on glyphosate. The committee joins the House Agriculture Committee, which is also pressing for an explanation from the EPA. Pro Farmer’s First Thing Today says the Science, Space and Technology committee is questioning why the agency pulled a report that said the chemical was likely not carcinogenic. The committee is questioning whether reasons other than science motivated the EPA to pull the report, as well as 13 other related documents, offline. EPA said the documents were published “inadvertently” and were “preliminary.” But documents were marked “final” and a memo that was part of the report described it as the committee’s “final cancer assessment document.”
