February 1935 Home Office memorandum, published by HMSO, explaining the industrial diseases of silicosis and asbestosis. It covers how silicosis develops, the industries where it occurs, prevention by dust suppression, exhaust ventilation and medical examinations, compensation schemes and the Silicosis and Asbestosis Medical Board. A note on asbestosis describes it as a progressive lung fibrosis from asbestos dust, lists the processes known to cause it (crushing, mixing, textile manufacture, insulation mattresses and dry sawing or grinding of brake linings and other asbestos goods) and refers to the 1931 Asbestos Industry Regulations. Appendices give a bibliography, compensation schemes, Medical Board panels and fees.
