It's LONG PAST time to clear-out EVERYONE at the EPA.

Trump needs to make this a priority.

Every holdover must go.

These people are beyond irrational.

Have we just lost our damned minds? Can you imagine if these communist took over? What a bunch of nothing and YOU are paying for this. Pruitt did a fantastic and amazing job and IO regard him highly.

He bought a desk made of particle board? Now that’s classy...

I think formaldehyde is a legitimate concern. Or, at least something is in modern building materials. Bought a new couch and recliner just over a year ago, and I couldn’t lie down on either of them without feeling like crap. I think they are sufficiently fumigated now, but I’ve noticed similar reactions when being in new or remodeled buildings.

One of the EPA staffers noticed that the Amazon product page included a California Proposition 65 warning – prompting them to ask EPA’s Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention for an expert opinion. EPA’s chemical safety office responded, suggesting that the desk likely contained formaldehyde. The official noted formaldehyde is classified as a carcinogen, but thanks to California regulations governing formaldehyde emissions from wood products, the “desk is likely to be fine.” Ultimately, EPA officials decided the safest course of action to limit Pruitt’s potential formaldehyde exposure would be to set up the desk in an EPA warehouse for several days to allow any vapors to dissipate. The irony would be comical if this wasn’t so dangerous.

The multiple incompetencys involved in this story are comical. An agency that is afraid of a piece of furniture is too stupid to live. An environmental agency that doesn't understand that virtually everything is "known" by the State of California to cause cancer is too stupid to live. If that's what EPA is today, shut it down. Or just let it be known that there are chemicals in the EPA headquarters and watch the employees scatter like roaches.
