A word from a toxicologist who defected from the federal junk science army

Last week, I discovered Frank Schnell when he wrote a comment on formaldehyde and said it was not a cancer-causing agent and that the EPA had lied about it. His comment was on an American Council on Science and Health posting by Josh Bloom, Ph.D. (organic chemistry), with a 20-year history of pharmaceutical research. Bloom busied himself in the post eviscerating a scare-monger on formaldehyde from the enviro-fanatic group National Resources Defense Council, and did a good job, but in the third or fourth comment, I saw a gem – a brief but insightful discussion by a man who described himself as a Ph.D. toxicologist retired from the Communicable Disease Center – Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) for 20 years.

But, but, but......the epa would never lie to the public under pressure from NGO's like nrdc or greenpiece(of the action) or sierra club would they? Think DDT. Thank you billy rucklehaus.

Formaldehyde still stinks....

If you don’t like the smell, don’t die.

We have not heard of Dr. Schnell before, because the media cartel say that he was not supporting their agenda.

That is the way that controlling the information flow works.

Formaldehyde, Ammonium Sulfide, and Hydrogen Peroxide are used to make HMTD, a primary explosive.

Just a mildly interesting use for formaldehyde.

Oops! Should be Ammonium Sulfate, not Ammonium Sulfide...

Sorry about that..

5. Evaluation
There is sufficient evidence in humans for the
carcinogenicity of formaldehyde. Formaldehyde
causes cancer of the nasopharynx and leukaemia.
Also, a positive association has been observed
between exposure to formaldehyde and sinonasal
cancer.
There is sufficient evidence in experimental
animals for the carcinogenicity of formaldehyde.
