Excerpt from the British Chief Inspector of Factories' annual report for 1949 (Cmd. 8155, presented February 1951): the cover and three pages (about pp. 144-146) on the asbestos industry, including efforts to control dust from asbestos weaving, one firm's new scheme of medical and X-ray examinations, and the growing use by contractors of portable asbestos spraying plants on buildings and ships. The file also holds five pages from the 1947 report (pp. 69 and 78-81) with tables of pneumoconiosis deaths and the section on asbestosis and lung cancer, which found cancer of the lung or pleura in 31 of 235 asbestosis deaths (13.2 percent) from 1924 to 1946.
