Unfortunately, the author does claim that the ATSDR ignores the concerns of people in

at the ATSDR for pointing a finger at Dr. Chris De Rosa who pointed a finger at them.
- 01:04

- 01:19
The passage agrees with choice (C), when it specifically states that the Committee is
- 01:23
not suggesting the ATSDR exaggerates or invents potential environmental risks.
