A Master of Arts thesis in History of Science by Craig A. Biegel, submitted to Oregon State University and presented December 14, 2010. The author argues that makers of toxic products, often through corporate attorneys, tried to discredit research linking their products to disease, drawing on silica and asbestos lawsuits. Chapters cover silicosis and "The Asbestos Experience". The abstract says asbestos manufacturers at first succeeded until lawsuits bankrupted numerous companies, and that "Litigation Support Firms" now help transform the peer-review literature.
