The Pope report formed the basis for the EPA's new clean air
standards. Others (see www.junkscience.com) have attempted to
obtain a copy of the report (completed at the request of the EPA using tax
dollars) and were denied because it was proprietary. The report has been
criticized in some circles as wildly over estimating the health impacts of not
implementing the new standards and grossly underestimating the costs of
compliance.
Just an analog guy in a digital world.
