Robert F. Kennedy Jr. endorsed Donald Trump's health policy could include revisiting standards for chemicals and pesticides.
But two former EPA staffers say the agency operated under the Trump administration.
The EPA was keen to approve new chemicals and remove regulations on existing ones, they said.
RFK Jr. has called for greater oversight of chemical regulation.
A retired EPA employee says the agency had a decades -long culture of penalizing employees who expressed dissenting opinions about the harms of some chemicals.
“The EPA was sort of paralyzed under the Trump administration,” she said.
Kennedy has been a vocal critic of “regulatory capture” — the idea that regulatory agencies too often act according to corporate interests.
