SEGMENTS

Getting Better Science at the EPA / Jon Greenberg

The move comes in response to criticism from both business and environmentalists that the agency often bases important regulations on inadequate science. (06:10)

Particulates Can Kill

Steve talks with EPA epidemiologist Joel Schwartz about his research on particulate air pollution. Schwartz and a colleague have found that particulate pollution, at levels far below those considered safe by the Federal government, can be harmful or even fatal to some people. (04:06)

Chemical Weapons in the Baltic Sea / Bruce Gellerman

Bruce Gellerman of member station WBUR in Boston reports on the shadowy dumping of massive amounts of Nazi and possibly Soviet chemical weapons into the Baltic Sea after World War II. After nearly half a century on the sea floor, some of the weapons are starting to leak and wash ashore. (09:40)
