Nearly 40 years ago one of my first and favorite jobs was ensuring Region 10 EPA employees were safe on the job, while they protected environmental and public health. Today I cry for so much lost.

Our hearts go out to the incredible folks at NIOSH. On Friday night, most remaining staff were laid off—gutting programs that protect workers, like PPE approvals and firefighter health research.

Total BS.
