Toxic Air Contaminant Board Members Disappear into Thin Air

Hosted by

Five scientists from Stanford, UCLA, USC and UC Davis have been dismissed without explanation from the Scientific Review Panel on Toxic Air Contaminants, a little-known group with weighty responsibilities that decides how new chemicals should be regulated.  The action comes in the midst of a lawsuit brought by a group of industrial polluters. Amy Standen reports for Quest and the California Report, produced by KQED in San Francisco.
