Chemicals/toxic interests: Group claims "tobacco-style" lobby shields toxic interests.

An environmental organization claims that a group funded by manufacturing and aerospace companies - including one found liable for contaminating the San Gabriel Valley Water Basin - used misleading research and tobacco industry-style lobbying to influence the debate on the effects of perchlorate.

In a report released last week, Los Angeles-based Environment California says that more than half of all studies on the health effects of perchlorate published between 1995 and 2005 were funded by the Perchlorate Study Group. During that same period, the National Institutes of Health funded only 10 percent of the research.
