A book that included a foreword by Alice Hamilton and authored by Teleky in 1947, an authority on occupation hygiene in Europe at the time, provides a summary of the history of industrial hygiene from World War I to World War II (29). World War II was a major force in the development of the industrial hygiene profession. In 1943, the Division of Industrial Hygiene of the USPHS produced the Manual of Industrial Hygiene and Medical Service in War Industries. In 1940, the Industrial Hygiene section of the Industrial Medical Association first published the Journal of Industrial Medicine's Industrial Hygiene, and the AIHA began publishing the American Industrial Hygiene Quarterly. In 1942, the National Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists published a list of Maximum Acceptable Concentrations for a wide range of industrial materials as recommended by various State industrial hygiene units . In 1943, Alice Hamilton's book Exploring the Dangerous Trades was published (33). In 1945, the previously compiled list of various US state standards in place at the time was published by Warren Cook (34). In 1946, the ACGIH published the first Maximum Allowable Concentrations (by 1948 known as Threshold Limit Values [TLVs]) for workplace exposures to a wide range of 144 materials (35). TLVs were intended at the time, and continue to be today, concentrations at which “nearly all workers can be employed for their entire working lifetime without adverse effect.” (35) In 1948, the first edition of Patty's Industrial Hygiene and Toxicology was published (36). Patty's remains to this day a seminal publication and standard reference of the industrial hygiene profession.
