The Trump administration plans to limit the scientific and medical research that government agencies use when formulating public health policies, amidst protests from both scientists and physicians that this policy will undermine current scientific foundations for government legislation.

A new draft of the Environmental Protection Agency proposal, titled Strengthening Transparency in Regulatory Science, would require that scientists disclose all of their raw data, including confidential medical records, before the agency could consider an academic study’s conclusions. E.P.A. officials called the plan a step toward transparency and said the disclosure of raw data would allow conclusions to be verified independently.

The new regulations will make it more difficult to pass clean air and water laws because much research linking pollution to health issues relies on personal health information that is protected by confidentiality agreements with research participants. Potentially even more harmful, the new proposal could apply retroactively to current public health policies. Experts warn that studies we have relied on for decades, such as those that show mercury from power plants is harmful to brain development, may not longer be allowed as evidence once current public health regulations come up for renewal.

For instance, a groundbreaking 1993 Harvard University project that definitively linked polluted air to premature deaths, currently the foundation of the nation’s air-quality laws, could become inadmissible. When gathering data for their research, known as the Six Cities study, scientists signed confidentiality agreements to track the private medical and occupational histories of more than 22,000 people in six cities. They combined that personal data with home air-quality data to study the link between chronic exposure to air pollution and mortality.

But the fossil fuel industry and some Republican lawmakers have long criticized the analysis and a similar study by the American Cancer Society, saying the underlying data sets of both were never made public, preventing independent analysis of the conclusions.

The change reflects the Trump Administration’s broader effort to reduce the use of scientific research in government legislation. In the recent past, senior administration official have tried to water down the testimony of government scientists, publicly censured scientists who disagree with President Trump’s positions and prohibited government researchers from presenting their work at conferences. These efforts could have profoundly detrimental effects on both our environment and public health.
