- A good place to start is Levy and Wegman's Occ. Health,
- 2nd ed., publ by Little Brown. Also Maxcy-Rosenau's
- Textbook of Preventive Medicine, 13th ed. (that's the
- title) edited by John Last has hundreds of pages on the
- subject. Also major texts by Tarcher and by Zenz. The
- major federal source is NIOSH in Cicinnati. OSHA has
- the generally agreed upon relationships but is quite con-
- servative. For the latest info you should consult the
- journals, esp. Am. J. of Industrial Med. and British J.
- of Indu. Med. Finally, call the occupational health clinic
- (if there is one) at your local or state univ. (I'm sure
- Case Western has someone).
- Good luck.
