H. C. Lewinsohn, Surveillance of High-Risk Groups Exposed to Asbestos in the United States (1979)

An eight-page article by Dr. Hilton C. Lewinsohn of Raybestos-Manhattan, Trumbull, Connecticut, published in 1979 in "Health Hazards of Asbestos Exposure," a volume of the Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences edited by Irving J. Selikoff and E. Cuyler Hammond; the title page of the volume comes first. Lewinsohn defined asbestos and risk, separated "direct" exposure at work from "indirect" exposure near asbestos work and from household contact, and gathered published cancer death rates for mining, manufacturing and insulation work into tables. He concluded that people exposed to asbestos must be kept under surveillance, meaning not only medical examinations but "the constant inspection of the workplace and workpractices" and measurement of exposure levels.
