| Notes | This report is a critique of a study by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency that found a statistically significant correlation between the application of the herbicide 2,4,5-T (dioxin) and miscarriages in the Alsea watershed. "If there is a relationship between herbicide use and miscarriages in the 'Alsea Basin' and its surrounding area, it is not apparent and cannot be tested using the data from the Alsea II study."
