This book represents 46 papers given at the second International Silicosis Meeting, at Münster, Germany, November, 1953.
It covers the entire problem from the pathological, clinical, chemical, and physical angles.
All the papers are original, and, while the clinician may be some what disappointed in the sparsity of the coverage of his field of interest, any one interested in the problem's entity, and particularly in the technical aspects of its pathogenesis, pathology, and prophylaxis, will gain a good amount of up-to-date information.
