Man-made mineral fibres and lung cancer: the risk to workers

This first issue of the 1987 Bulletin of the World Health Organization launches a new department-"WHO News and Activities".In this section readers will continue to find notes such as have traditionally been published under "WHO Scientific activities". They will in addition find news items of the kind previously reported in the WHO Chronicle- whose publication, as announced in the previous two issues of the Bulletin, is being suspended for financial reasons until the end of 1989.It is hoped that this section and the new department entitled "WHO Recent publications" will enable readers to keep abreast of what WHO is doing and publishing in a scientific vein. Less technical news items and publication announcements will henceforth be carried in World Health Forum; for subscription information, please see page 129.
