EPA IG Issues Rare 'Alert' That Data On Toxics Releases Is Inaccurate

"The top watchdog overseeing the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued a rare 'management alert' Monday warning that the agency’s public data on toxic substance releases are not accurate.

The EPA’s Office of Inspector General (IG) said the inconsistencies were “of sufficient concern to warrant immediate reporting.”

The emergency letter from the EPA’s acting IG to the head of the Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention warned that certain information the EPA released publicly about its toxic chemical releases did not match internal EPA data."
