An undated R. T. Vanderbilt Company booklet, A Matter of Fact: The truth about tremolitic talc, arguing that OSHA's 1972 asbestos standard wrongly treats all tremolite as asbestos, and that only non-asbestiform tremolite occurs in its talc from Gouverneur, New York. It quotes mineralogists Malcolm Ross and Ann Wylie and cites a Fairleigh Dickinson hamster study that found no tumors. It presents Tabershaw Occupational Medicine Associates and Dr. Robert Murray disputing a NIOSH study begun in 1975. The copy is plaintiff's exhibit CAP-1481.
