A Word on Broken Links -- Parsing urls
Many of the items found on this page are linked to web-based documents, web pages and web sites. It is a fact of life on the internet that some links will, with time, become "broken." If you click on a link and find that it does not work, try parsing the link / url to arrive at the parent / authoring entity. Once there use their search machines / indices to find the document or contact them to see if the document still exists.
To parse a url, simply work backwards / upstream until you get to the parent / authoring entity. For example:
http://I'm_an_example.org/example_archives/example_1.html/
If the link is broken, move up the link hierarchy (to the left), to the parent entity: http://I'm_an_example.org
There you can search for the missing item or contact the parent entity to determine it's status.

Series: Bulletin No. B 2192. http://purl.access.gpo.gov/GPO/LPS19584 Abstract: The US Geological Survey is conducting a study to investigate the mineral content of U.S. vermiculite deposits to determine if the amphibole asbestos minerals like those found in the Libby, Montana, deposits are common in other vermiculite deposits. Unusually high incidences of asbestos-related mortality and respiratory disease in Libby have been linked to amphibole mineral fibers intergrowth with the vermiculite deposits mined and milled near the town from 1923 to 1990.
