'When it emerged that it contained formaldehyde, aides sought advice about whether it would be safe for Pruitt. '
'While EPA officials went to such lengths to ensure Pruitt’s safety, they have done nothing to regulate levels of formaldehyde, and continue to delay the report’s release. '
'According to Politico, a trade group representing the businesses could face new regulations if the study were released had frequent access to EPA officials and successfully pressured them to refrain from publishing the report. '
'At the same time, Pruitt was refusing to more strictly regulate the chemical, despite sitting on a report that said it’s putting Americans at risk of leukemia and throat cancer. '
'Pruitt himself, however, was protected from inhaling the chemical. '
