The June 1957 issue (vol. 21, no. 6) of the Industrial Hygiene Digest, the Industrial Hygiene Foundation's monthly collection of literature abstracts, 34 pages with the Foundation's "Foundation Facts" newsletter. Abstract 761 summarized "Asbestosis with Pleural Calcification among Insulation Workers" by J. Frost, J. Georg and P. F. Moller (Danish Medical Bulletin, November 1956). Of 31 Danish insulation workers with more than 20 years' exposure, 22 had abnormalities, nine showed signs of asbestosis, and 19 had pleural changes; the finding "definitely points to an occupational origin."
