Abstract

ASBESTOS is a mineral causing much controversy in today's society. Before the passage and enactment of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, millions of Americans were exposed to relatively high concentrations of airborne asbestos in the work-place. Other citizens — including insulation installers, shipyard workers, and manufacturers of gas masks — encountered asbestos during World Wars I and II, when it was produced at an accelerated rate. Although the importation and use of asbestos have decreased in the United States since 1970, and recently the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has proposed a ban on its use, asbestos remains . . .

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
