The Dan River Company, citing news reports damaging to its image, has\nabandoned a proposed study to test a theory that byssinosis (brown lung\ndisease) is caused by a bacterium growing in cotton rather than by inhalation\nof cotton dust. With state approval to exceed federal standards on cotton\ndust exposure, the company submitted the study to the Occupational Safety and\nHealth Administration as a "variance," not as human subjects research. Levine\ncontends that the proposal violated all major criteria of the federal\nregulations for protection of research subjects--scientific objectivity,\nbalanced risks and benefits, and voluntary and informed consent.
