The Industrial Hygiene Digest was the monthly abstract journal of the Industrial Hygiene Foundation of America, Mellon Institute, Pittsburgh, the research body that industry, including Johns-Manville, paid to follow the science of occupational disease. It went to the foundation's member companies. These are the three issues we have from 1942 (Volume 6): Johns-Manville's own copies, free to read online or download. Each opens with Foundation Facts, the foundation's newsletter to its members. The index below lists their contents by topic; each entry opens the issue at its page.
