Episode 38 - Sewage Sludge, The Environmental Disaster You Don’t Know About with Dr. David LewisDavid L. Lewis, Ph.D., retired from the U.S. EPA Office of Research and Development in 2003 as a senior-level (GS-15) Research Microbiologist with 32 years of service. His investigations into public health and environmental problems has been published in Nature, Lancet and other leading scientific journals. This research has prompted the EPA, CDC, FDA and other public health organizations worldwide to upgrade infection-control guidelines and certain environmental policies. His research on adverse health effects associated with land application of treated sewage sludges prompted two hearings by the full Science Committee in the U.S. House of Representative, the passage of the No Fear Act by Congress, and a review of EPA sewage sludge (a.k.a. biosolids) policies by the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, and new CDC guidelines to protect workers handling biosolids. He was awarded the Science Achievement Award for 2000 by EPA Administrator Carol Browner, and the 2018 Distinguished Service Award by the Sierra Club. His book, Science for Sale: How the U.S. Government Uses Powerful Corporations and Leading Universities to Support Government Policies, Silence Top Scientists, Jeopardize Our Health, and Protect Corporate Profits is largely devoted to efforts within government and academia to downplay adverse health effects caused by land application of sewage sludges and improperly designed dental and medical devices. It refers to research misconduct sanctioned by government, industry and academic institutions, usually to create a body of bogus scientific literature to protect certain politically and economically favorable government policies and industry practices.Transcript: https://bit.ly/3KORbF3Click here to obtain this show's resources page: https://bit.ly/35ydZbUFind us on Linktree, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter,  TikTok and YoutubeNeed help navigating your mold injury without breaking the bank?
