American College of Occupational and Environmental Medicine

The American College of Occupational and Environmental Medicine is a professional association which represents "more than 5,000 physicians and other health care professionals specializing in the field of occupational and environmental medicine". However, it has been described as an organization which represents its company-employed members and opposes industry regulations. A particularly controversial incident occurred when in 2003, an article criticizing Dow Chemical for dismissing 11 cases of mesothelioma was rejected from its Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine.
