The 985 scientists address some of the lies: https://miningawareness.wordpress.com/2018/05/20/nearly-1000-scientists-tell-trump-pruitt-epa-dont-restrict-epas-ability-to-rely-on-science-comment-by-may-30th
It is important to know that the US FDA allows more radiation in US food than any other country in the world, among those with limits. Clean air and water are even more critically needed, so that some people will still be spared life-shortening cancers.
Here is a big lie deception in the EPA document, probably the most important one: “there is growing empirical evidence of non-linearity in the concentration-response function for specific pollutants and health effects“. https://www.regulations.gov/document?D=EPA-HQ-OA-2018-0259-0006
[Update note – linearity, in this context, means increased dose leads to increased risk. Their underlying non-linearity argument is that there is some safe dose of pollutants.]
It doesn’t say which…
