Editorial Reviews

Review

Michael Fumento is among America's most conscientious observers of Washington's regulatory establishment, a watchdog whom the bureaucrats rightly fear. -- Rep. Thomas Bliley, U.S. House Commerce Committee

Michael Fumento's Polluted Science conclusively shows that the EPA's new particulate and ozone regulations may be among the worst ever promulgated by a federal agency. All legislators concerned with the health of their constituents and the health of the economy need to read-and heed-this book and vote against what Fumento so aptly calls 'regulation for regulation's sake.' -- Rep. David McIntosh, chairman, U.S. House National Economic Growth, Natural Resources, and Regulatory Affairs Subcommittee
