I had the questionable pleasure of attending the Collegium Ramazzini meeting earlier this week in Italy. I will write up a note with the most noticeable communications of the meeting (including the findings of a 2-generation carcinogenicity rat study with Coca-Cola - ad libitum).
There were some quite negative remarks from some of the leaders of the meeting about the ongoing benzene work in Shanghai:
only purpose is to discredit the NCI findings (Bingham)
industry-sponsored studies equate to junk science (slide put up by Mehlman)
ridicule by Mehlman about single response (P Clegg, Shell) to a letter to 45 oil executives
I'm sure you were already aware of this what looks like a coordinated campaign. If not, you're now.
