Our plain-English summary of Biological Effects of Mineral Fibres Volume 2 - Contents Page and Author Index (1980).

The study

• Published: BIOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF MINERAL FIBRES (J.C. WAGNER, EDITOR), LYON: IARC SCIENTIFIC PUBLICATIONS, VOLUME 30 (1980)
• Type of article: Conference paper
• Our copy: from Johns-Manville's own medical library. The article is still under copyright, so we describe it here rather than post it.

In plain English

This document is not a research study. It consists of pages from Volume 2 of the proceedings of a symposium on the biological effects of mineral fibres, not the text of any paper. The symposium was organized by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), the French National Institute of Health and Medical Research (INSERM) and the MRC Pneumoconiosis Unit in Penarth, UK. It was held at IARC in Lyon, France, on 25-27 September 1979; J.C. Wagner was editor-in-chief. The pages include title pages, tables of contents for both volumes, an index of authors, and publisher catalogue and ordering lists. The listed papers are grouped under headings such as clinical and radiological observations on asbestos-related pathology, epidemiology of asbestos-related disease, the scientific basis for environmental control of fibres, and other mineral fibres. Listed titles include papers on chrysotile asbestos mine and mill workers in Corsica and men mining and milling crocidolite in Western Australia. The papers appear only as contents entries with titles, authors and page numbers. Some titles give a group size, such as 302 asbestos-exposed patients, but no paper's methods or results are included.

We wrote this plain-English summary from the full article with the help of AI, and a second AI model checked each sentence against the article. It is not the authors' wording; the abstract and the article are their own account.
