Compilation of two papers presented at the New York Academy of Sciences conference on health hazards of asbestos exposure. The first, by Selikoff, Lilis and Nicholson, tabulates deaths among 440 U.S. shipyard insulation workers (1967-1977) against expected deaths and compares them with other insulation workers. The second, on short-term asbestos work exposure and long-term observation, has tables, charts and a comment on mortality among workers in an amosite asbestos factory by length of time worked. Pages 5-6 list estimated numbers of workers at risk from regulated carcinogens, and tables carry a handwritten note dated 12 August 1979. unreviewed
