EPA finally finished it’s peer review of results from the infamous Ramazzini Institute labs that test sick animals after pressure from industry that the lab’s practices were inappropriate.  It will no longer rely on findings from this lab when it does IRIS reports.  Immediately affected are dropping cancer findings for methanol, MTBE and ETBE.  http://www.epa.gov/iris/ramazzini.htm

It took awhile, but scientific peer review is necessary and proper.
