Dr. Robert Kehoe of the University of Cincinnati, who directed confidential research for chemical manufacturers at his Kettering Laboratory. Sponsors included the makers of leaded gasoline and the factories that caused the Donora air pollution disaster of 1949.

By the time the article appeared in print, Hueper s employment at DuPont had ended on bad terms. On a plant visit early in his dye research, he learned that the area of his visit had been specially cleaned for the inspection and insisted on seeing the much dirtier remainder of the operation. His immediate written complaint went to Irenee du Pont, and Hueper was never allowed to visit the dye works again. Later, when the results of the experiments became clear, DuPont issued a press release announcing the discovery and ascribing it to the laboratory directors Hueper visited the local newspaper to assert his own claim to credit and kept the release out of the paper. Soon afterward he was dismissed.6 DuPont quietly financed continued research on dye chemicals by Robert Kehoe, not publishing the findings even when they pointed to cancer hazards from additional chemicals.7... 

In assembling his scientific information, McKee followed the innocent until proven guilty approach that Robert Kehoe had introduced in his studies of tetraethyl lead and that industry-friendly scientists had subsequently applied to synthetic pesticides. Only those studies that determined limiting or threshold concentrations were included in the compilation. When no minimum concentration was known below which a substance did not cause harm—as in the case of cancer-causing chemicals—McKee often omitted... 

Industry and its allies still sought to limit the federal role. Within a year, Robert Kehoe was lobbying to have the Bureau of Mines air pollution program ended and the field made the exclusive preserve of the Public Health Service. The two agencies competed quietly for control of air pollution programs for another five years.3... 

The edifice of scientific orthodoxy erected by Royd Sayers, Anthony Lanza, Robert Kehoe, and their collaborators was under assault from more than one direction. On one side was the wave of popular and media attention that followed Silent Spring. From another came advances in environmental science, knocking out the underpinnings of the scientific defenses that polluters had labored diligently to build.
