Koch Brothers Led Fight to Defend Formaldehyde Despite Carcinogenic Evidence
Video
Amy Goodman, Juan Gonzalez and Ralph Nader, Democracy Now!: 'The government has added formaldehyde to a list of known carcinogens, despite years of lobbying by the chemical industry. Formaldehyde is found in plastics and often used in plywood, particle board, mortuaries and hair salons. The government also said Friday that styrene, which is used in boats, bathtubs and in disposable foam plastic cups and plates, may cause cancer. The conservative billionaire Koch brothers have led the lobbying effort against labeling formaldehyde as a carcinogen. Georgia-Pacific, a subsidiary of Koch Industries, is one of the country s top producers of formaldehyde. We get reaction from longtime consumer advocate Ralph Nader.'
