G. W. H. Schepers, "Occupational Chest Diseases," Chapter in Modern Occupational Medicine (1962)

An eight-page copy of Chapter 33, "Occupational Chest Diseases," by Dr. G. W. H. Schepers, from the 1962 textbook Modern Occupational Medicine edited by Fleming, D'Alonzo and Zapp, marked "Schepers file." The chapter covers silicosis, asbestosis and other dust diseases. On asbestosis it says the first few years of exposure "are as important determinants of the final outcome" as the rest, cites a case of fatal asbestosis thirty years after a single month in a textile plant, and notes cases "currently cropping up" in men and women who had worked as pipe insulators on Liberty ships in the Second World War.
