HA] Mtriiral D ir, American Brain Most maimfactoring procedure are capa ble of generating varying mounts o f dost which c a y be visible, mvistbk, dangerous or inert. It it tbcrcfoct important tla t these tobstcBces be properly classified in order to protect the health o f employees and pro vide la fe environment m which they may carry oo their daily occupation. Obviously -the supervisor should have .some knowledge of industrial dusts since the responsibility for enforcing measures mstirnud for thdr control usually falls upon his slxxtldert. Unless be has a good idea of the actual risks confronting him, be will be at a disadvantage in securing cooperation from those under his direction. Ability to answer questions concerning plant hasards in a convincing miner is a very important factor in any dm: control program, and if the supervisor cannot explain the necessity of avoiding exposure to toxic materials the worker under his charge is very unlikely to pay attention to it On the other hand, a brief explanation that carries the ring of sincerity and truth can frequently correct unnecessary smsunderstanding. For example, a capable young employee was worried about con tracting silicon* because he worked in a plant where at times there appeared to be considerable dust in the atmosphere. He did not know that this 'dust was free Iran silica or other harmful ingredient, but Ms foreman did. Knowledge of his own department enabled the supervisor to convince the workman that not only was the dust inert but also plans ware under way for the installation of new ventilating ruapercent which woolci remove the particles that were already prev ent. The man was satisfied and the com pany was able to retain the errices of a food employe. What the are some of the fundamental things a supervisor should know about ia- dustrial dusts? Dust is formed by red, ,,mg earthy materials to small sice. Processes like grinding, crushing, blasting, and drilling prodnee dust panicles o f sixes from the submicroacopic to the vissble. Fumes are formed from oombusboa, sub limation and cnodmtstinn. Those from burning or melting lead or ;rinc are: typical examples. The size o f the particles is gen erally below one microti. (A mkroa h l/ZSjOOOth o f an inch.) Smoke is usually of organic origin from such thing as burning tobacco, wood, <1 or cooL The particle size is usually below a half microti. Mists or fogs are formed by core,'tenwhom o f water vapor and the particle or droplet size varies widely. The most important item to the supervisor is the rcalixatku that be may be dealiryv with * dnst which can prodnee bodily harm. His first tousidenuicn should be "How b the man hhnsdf affected? Is the dnst present in sufficient amounts in the sir to be a source of danger? Does "u e.xlsi m the pure state or ii it mixed with other dusts? What ts the actual count of partkks per cubic foot of air, and what -percentage of these is of respirable size (below 10 microns and especially those below three microns? How Icng does it take to develop occnpatkmal disease of the lungs from ex posure to dust?" AH this may appear to be oatskk the scope of the supervisor's actrrities race after all his job is caocertied primarily with production. However, moat industries phicx the respcwsikility for carrying oat safer/ nicruAircj oo the foneman and it ii apparent that bis department wQl suffer ii these are not properly enforced, Safety di-are.for c i.i.~ dodea precautions against exxup:: titsixi ease a.s well :m accidents so that a:::,., .r; edge of methods for centro airy . from dangerous dusts, toxit 195t 1 Current Safety Topics in the > 3 4 5 METALS b 798 IN D U STR Y O1 2 !J At preseated fai Ito 14 wi iw iw A v v ilii 15 I Ito I t t i Ni H w l Serfvty 10 17 18 lu The American P f b |f ........................................................ 5 20 21 Use of Directional Explosives for Tapping Open - Htrrth Fumee ............................................ 5 24 The Jet Topper Practice at the Open Hearth..................... 23 Safe Use of Cables and Slings............................................

This is difficult to establish except through expe rience gained during an extended employ ment period. The U se of W etting A gents to Control Dust in Industries By G. A. MAU V ice P rea, Johnson March Coqx, Philadelphia, Pa. Within the past two decades chemists have developed materials with properties similar to soap but without the limitations, resulting in a large number of compounds with re markable physical properties. The behavior of these materials has suggested their use in a wide variety of industrial fields. These materials are known as Surface Active Agents since their primary effect is at the boundaries or surfaces between two phases. Reduction of interfacial tension, lowering of surface tension, increase of wetting power, dcflocculation and emulsification arc some: of the results of this activity. The synthetic surface active agents first came into use in this country about 1930. In tbe few years since their introduction, they have become numerous and varied, and have found many uses in diverse fields. Tbe surface active agents can be subdivided into five groups. Wetting agents, penetrating agents, dispersing agents, emulsifying agents and foaming agents. Reference will be directed particularly to the first and second groups. Namely, wet ting agents; producing increased wetting or spreading of an aoqcous solution or suspen sion over a repellent surface and the sec ond group, penetrating agents, providing more rapid passage of a liquid into a porous solid. W ith the above brief diiscuuion on s"UX face active agents, or as I will refer to them from now 'on weri.mg agent* or com found, I intend to di:icv.3.3 the aic 0 \ wetting agents to control dust la bdustr y and particularly, the foundry I like the popular definition of a wetting agent, which merely atatat that a wetting agent added to water makes it wetter. Per haps, we should state foe tbe purpose of keeping the chemical terminology straight, that a wetting agent is a material which, when added to water, or to any other liquid, will came considerable reduction in surface tension. Safety and health have been basefitted by the use o f wetting compounds in many industries. Safety--in providing bet ter visibility around plant and equipment, health by preventing the aibsorptioa or in halation of dust. Dusts, whether toxic of not, arc harmful and an attempt to group dusts n xk r thr headings "active" and "inert" (w;th refer ence to effect oo health) Las proved unsat isfactory. Investigatksts la v e proven that practically all dusts may be ,,harmful if breathed in large amounts over bag periods. In this country, dust diseases usually des ignated as "hecsitf" is more or less common among workers its the mining, grinding, granite and foundry industries. According to Lanxa and Vara, the estimated number of men expos.! to Silica-Bearing Dust in various industries are as follows: ?TOts4 ?mLZXJL:r tW N u.KUfc.'ti' A.U pos&i McuJ mitu&g ................... , ...............

For these reasons, the size o f the dust present in the industrial atmosphere should be determined Investigations hare proven that particles greater than 10 microns in longest dimen sion. are very seldom found in the hmgs, and that the' particle size found most com monly in hmgs were three to five microns. Due to gravity which causes rapid settling of suspensions and due to the protective action of the mucous surfaces of the upper respiratory tract, the larger particles do sot penetrate to the terminal portions of the lungs. Therefore, it is obvious that attention should be given chiefly to those particles which are less than 10 microns in longest dimension and which can enter the hmgs. T his group particle sire is very difficult to wet, and requires not only a low surface tension liquid but a fine atomizing spray nozzle. Dust control by wetting depends for its effectiveness upon the fact that, once the dust has been trapped in water or some other liquid, the particles are not easily dis persed again in the air, and! proper disposal has been made. Dust control by wet methods is attractive from the standpoint of cost but has not been highly successful in certain industries, with raw water. Marry articles hare been writ ten quoting not too good results in such applications as grinding wheels, rock drilling, mining, etc. Dust control with water is letter than no wetting at all, but would Dot reduce the dust count sufficiently to be safe, and in tire case o f some dusts, could not be wetted si all, especially the sizes 10 microns or less. T o obtain better wetting, experinsentatioc led to the use of wetting agents. T he physics of wetting is X court;)' ru derstood Tbe phenomenon ts basically om of adsorption tin a film of liquid must be adsorbed, upon tbe solid before wetting o n occur. A liquid will spread on i solid if the surface tension o f tbe latter is greater than the sum of the interfacul tension be tween the solid and liquid and the su rfs tension o f tbe Squid. Therefore, the wetting power of a Squid increases with a decrease in its su rfs ten sion. Many dusts are wetted only with great difficulty because of the presence o f another film already absorbed on tbe surface. This film might be adsorped air, which occurs in a dust dood. Then wetting will not take place unless the spreading ferret of the liquid is great enough to drive off the air layer. A wetting agent or compound of su rfs active agent groups will in roost cases fur nish the spreading force of the liquid to drive off the air layer and wet the dust Time will rot permit a discussion of other than the high points of dust control in the foundry industry. About three years ago, I was handed some foundry dust that was collected around tbe muller. and asked whether it could be wetted With a wetting agent Much to my surprise, it was a combination of foundry dusts that did not respond to water or any single type of group of wetting agents known at that rime. W e finally found a compound of surface active agents that would actively wet this dust. Dusts difficult to wet can be wetted if the proper wetting compound is used and the application cor rect. One without tbe other will not work. So far we have touched on a discussion of the types of wetting agents, that a liquid with low surface tension is best for wetting, providing the dust and liquid are compatible, that the size dust partkle we should be most interested in is three, to five microns or generally particle sire less than 10 microns. This s i compares to tog particle sizes. The effkaency of wet dust control is de pendent upon the degree to which the p a rti cles are wened. Important facton. that de term ine w ettability or dusts are the proper 'retting compound and the application of the proper particle site spray' solution with noz zles designed for -.he application and rprir pressures to cooil- proper iprry oro),':;; oo; ;a;d pattern.
