EPA Blocked From Human Pesticide Studies
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Filed at 5:06 p.m. ET

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Senate voted to block the Environmental Protection Agency from using studies that intentionally expose people to pesticides when considering permits for pest killers.

By a 60-37 vote, the Senate approved a provision from Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., that would block the EPA from relying on such testing -- including 24 human pesticide experiments currently under review -- as it approves or denies pesticide applications.
