For whatever it's worth, the Environmental Health information Service
published an article on health hazards in the semi-conductor industry
about a year ago. You can see the abstract here:

http://ehpnet1.niehs.nih.gov/docs/1999/107-9/focus-abs.html


We also published a little bit about the issue in 1995, which can be
found here:

These may well have been outside your time-frame, though.
