Saboteur Pruitt's aides aired his new desk for a week before putting it in his office, to protect him from exposure to formaldehyde.

Meanwhile, they suppressed a report about the dangers of formaldehyde exposure, at the request of businesses. The businesses don't want Americans to know that most Americans are exposed to too much formaldehyde.

Exposing large numbers of people to small but significant amounts of a carcinogen will cause some additional cases of cancer. If we see the report, we might get an estimate of how many additional cancer cases result from US formaldehyde exposure. It might be thousands, or it might be less. The added risk to one person is minuscule, but the added harm to society can be important.

Too bad we don't know whether Pruitt personally asked for his expensive new desk to be aired out.
