A 1980 manual by Walter C. McCrone of the McCrone Research Institute, Chicago, published by Ann Arbor Science Publishers, on identifying asbestos in bulk insulation by polarized light microscopy and dispersion staining. It grew out of an EPA photomicrography project and covers crystallography, identification of chrysotile, amosite, crocidolite and related minerals, and quantitation. Its 35 color plates include insulation samples from an EPA round-robin test. Recounting the FDA's 1973 notice that cosmetic talcs had been found to contain asbestos, the author calls the original report 'grossly wrong'.
