Possible copyvio

I tagged one section as a possible copyvio [1]. It occurs here [2]. Since the date on that source postdates it being added to our article, it probably didn't originate from there but it's also unlikely they were copying from us since they include one extra detail that was never in our article [3]. I'm seeing the same thing all over, e.g. here which appears to be a US federal government source [4]. The first sentence is mostly here [5] where it's mentioned that it's listed at NIOSH publication 99.110 but I don't know if that includes the same wording. Suffice it to say, it's unlikely it was written by the original contributor or if it was, they put it somewhere else. So clarification over the licence status is needed. Perhaps it's public domain in which case we could simply attribute it here (which we require by policy to avoid this confusion even if it isn't required by law). However the original contributor has been username blocked since not long after creating this article. I thought the same may apply to the other examples but actually even going back to the original wroding I can't find them anywhere. It's possible they were all taken from publications which aren't online. Nil Einne (talk) 17:07, 10 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
