This monograph is an official publication of the Divis sion of Industrial Hygiene Hygiene of the National Instituto
of Health of the 1.8 Puldie Health Service The

neldition to their record of uslumtosis in the asbestos

nhwrvation the work is an excellent account ut
pulmonary axlestemin in general with an annotated
bibliography which almimits sureinetly the chief
publications during the last ten years or more
