The Threat to Scientific Integrity in Environmental and Occupational Medicine
What is this about?
This is a factual case describing threats to the integrity of research in environmental and occupational medicine. These threats can stem from conflicts of interest between the parties funding and performing research. Pressures from some industries and governments can lead to the distortion and suppression of scientific findings, attacks on whistleblowers, and manipulation of eminent scientists[1].

Why is this important?
It is important for environmental and occupational medicine professionals and their societies to consider how to adequately respond to these threats. Examples include the adoption of a code of ethics by professional organisations that requires openness from public health professionals, and the establishment of an independent, intermediate funding scheme to ensure research funding for public health does not come directly from the industry to the researcher[1].
