Answer to Question 1

Yes. The Court noted in a footnote that OSHA expressly found that exposure to cotton dust presents a significant health hazard to employees and that cotton dust produced significant health effects at low levels of exposure. OSHA made clear in the record the source it relied upon to make its findings.
