EPA Data Not Reliable, Business Lobby Says. The US Chamber of Commerce and others are requesting corrections on EPA databases used for various regulatory purposes. Some of the errors are a bit more than minor discrepancies. Having a 1,000,000,000 difference in the same property of benzene, that's 100,000,000,000%, isn't just a slight oversight. These databases are often used to regulate companies and decide on cleanup criteria.
The response that correcting the databases would take too much time from priority issues doesn't fly. If they can't get basic databases to agree, then just think how good their decisions on those priority issues are.
