Annals of Occupational Hygiene vol 48 number 2 is now available on-line.  The contents list below includes links to the on-line abstracts, which are available to everyone.  BOHS members and subscribers to the on-line edition can access the full on-line texts.  Non-subscribers can download the full texts at 23 USD per paper.  The print edition should be published next week.

We will shortly be introducing a system of posting accepted and proofed papers on the Web, in a citable form, without waiting for publication of the issue to which they are allocated.  I will post access details when this is available.

Ann Occ Hyg now generally only considers papers submitted on-line.  Instructions can be accessed from http://www3.oup.co.uk/annhyg/ .
