Letter from Congressman Ed Markey to EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson, asking about the agency’s use of Reference Man

Dear Administrator Jackson:

I write out of concern about reports that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) may be considering a series of actions that could weaken radiation standards and protective guidance, ignoring sound scientific recommendations and dismantling decades of EPA policies for protection of the public from ionizing radiation. If the EPA chooses to proceed with these actions, it could put public health at risk and threatens to undermine the public’s confidence in the regulator that is meant to protect it.
