Richard Denison @RichardDenisonThis graph of 1,4-dioxane stds shows clearly just how much of an outlier EPA toxics nominee #Dourson is contaminantssummit.com/images/present… #TSCA

Turns out Dourson met with MDEQ in 2013 to advocate on behalf of Pall for looser dioxane toxic standard...

"On behalf of Pall Corporation, Michael Dourson, Ph.D. of Toxicology Excellence for Risk Assessment (TERA) an organization specializing in risk assessment, requested an audience with MDEQ staff to present and discuss their recent toxicity evaluation of 1,4-dioxane." p.4

So if you can't get what you want from a state, go higher up?
