annual membership meeting October 23, 1963 and SUMMARY OF 1963 ACTIVITIES INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE FOUNDATION MELLON INSTITUTE 4400 FIFTH AVENUE - PITTSBURGH 13, PA- INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE FOUNDATION OF AMERICA. INC. Mellon Institute, -4-400 Fifth Avenue Pittsburgh 13. Pa. To the Member* of - INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE FOUNDATION: * The purpose of my remark* i* to advise you concerning the 1963 and 1964 Annual Meet ing*. the plan* and hope* of the Foundation, and to thank thoae of you who have, by letter or per sonally, welcomed me to the Foundation and indicated willingne** to a**l*t in developing the full potential of the Foundation. A* you know, the Annual Meeting thi* year wa* prepared by the Truitee* to review progress in industrial hygiene in the past SO year* in honor of the celebration this year of the 50th Anniversary of Mellon Institute, The Transaction* have been accepted by the Editor of the Ar chive* of Environmental Health and will appear in the March 1964 issue. The authors who spoke on progress to date have much to tell u* about how to succeed in programs of industrial hygiene, if we will listen carefully; and representative* of management, government, and labor, speaking on industrial hygiene in the 1960's, have predicted the climate in which we will be working. The luncheon speaker. Senator Charles R. Weiner, Pennsylvania Senate Minority Leader, speaking on "Social Progress and the Law" raised the question "What can we do to prevent conditions in in dustry which sre teowti to be harmful to the employees or the' public in one way or another and yet not create condition* which result in our losing existing industries or cause potential industries to decide not to come into our state?" Senator Weiner feel* the answer is compromise, with legis lators srbitrating between interested group* of persons. If a bad bill is written as a result of lack of knowledge and judgment, in hi* opinion, it may be traced to indifference of the public, in cluding scientists and professional personnel. He urged us to follow closely the progress of pro posed technical legislation and to contribute, if possible, through liaison with our representatives in government. - The general tone of critical comments received since the meeting ha* been that it was highly successful, but that future meetings should. If possible, include reports more highly tech nical in nature to assist industrisl hygiene personnel in the transition which rapidly changing technology requires. Foundation committee* are currently preparing suggestions for next year's meeting, and it is hoped that you will communicate with them if you have suggestions for subject* or speakers. One of the major innovation* in 1963 Ha* been editor!*!* and full-length article* in the Industrial Hygiene Digest, and resumption of publication of special aerie* bulletin*. The November and December issues of the Digest, dealing with a serious threat to workmen's compensation and proposed changes in the Walih-Heaiey Act, concern matter* currently under consideration at the .federal level on which our members may wish to take action. It i* our desire to let the Foundation develop its potential services to the membership more fully and it is essential that we receive your guidance in order to set practical, raalistic, and timely goats. I hope that each of you will feel free to communicate directly with me at any time concerning problems in industrial health or waya of improving the effectiveness of the Found ation's programs. It it extremely gratifying to be associated with you, the Board of Trustees, and Com mittees of the Foundation in such a challenging endeavor and, with your help, we will make 1964 an outstanding year in the history of IHF, . The Foundation's staff joins me in wishing each of you happiness in the holiday season and success in the new year! Robert T. P. deTrevitle, M. D. Managing Director AN ASSOCIATION or INDUSTRIES rOR THE ADVANCEMENT Or HEALTHFUL WORK1NO CONDITIONS INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE FOUNDATION OF AMERICA, INC. MINUTES MEETING OF MEMBERS . Pittsburgh,' Pennsylvania October 23, 1963 ` The Annual Meeting of the Members of the Industrial Hygiene Foundation of America, Inc., was held at Mellon Institute, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on Wednesday, October 23, 1963, at 4:30 p. m., pursuant to notice. Dr. Blaine B. Wescott, Chairman of the Board of Trustees, presided. Mr. T. C. Waters, who had been previously appointed by the Chairman to examine the proxies, reported that there were 151 companies represented by proxies that were in proper form and fully executed. On motion made and seconded, the proxies were approved. The member companies represented by proxy or in person constituted a quorum. A list of the member com* panies represented by proxies and a copy of the notice of the meeting and proxy sent to all mem bers of the Corporation are on file in the Minute Book. Since there were no objections or correction to the minutes which were maiLed to all member companies following the October 25, 1962 meeting, a motion was passed to dispense with the reading of the minutes. The Chairman stated that the Minute Book was available and open at the meeting for inspection by members. Dr. Wescott read tbe following statement in memory of Dr. William P. Yant: - "In Memory of William Parks Yant Industrial Hygiene Foundation 1935- 1963 " William Parks Yant died at Grand Central Hospital, New York City, at 5:30 p.m., Tuesday, January 29, 1963. For many years, he had served as Research Consultant to the President of the Mine Safety Appliances Company; he also served as a member of the Research Advisory Council and Chemical-Toxicological Committee of the Industrial Hygiene Foundation of America, Inc.; since the organization of the Foundation in 1935, ' be served as a faithful member of the Board of Trustees and succeeded to become Chair man of tbe Board of Trustees from 1956-1961. Dr. Yant was a pioneer and internationally recognized authority in the field of industrial hygiene; be participated in the formation of tbe Industrial Hygiene Foundation of America, Inc., and made unlimited contributions of his time, energy and experience to the progress of the Foundation. His strong personal concern for the Foundation was a dominant element in the Foundation's achievements. "His interest in industrial hygiene has been ascribed.to his concern for "any activity which would lead to greater health, comfort and safety for human beu^s". His plans were large and as a result millions of workers in industry have benefited by hie untiring efforts to safeguard their health. - 1. i "Dr. Yaat received many honors in the distinguished service that he rendered to science. He served as chairman and councilor of various committees and sec tions devoted to his primary interest,. "He was married in 1933 to Elizabeth M. Grossman and is survived by three children, William Parks, Jr,, a student at Ohio Northern University; Mrs. Gretchen Elizabeth Robinson of Ada, Ohio; and Susan Jane, a student at Pennsylvania State * University; and one grandchild. Hvs home was in MurrysviLle, Pennsylvania. "His services have extended to all member companies and he has always ' 'discharged responsibilities assigned to him with exceptional ability, rugged honesty, and'fidelity to the welfare of this Foundation and to industry. In his relationship with members, he has been an esteemed and valued personal friend and able busi ness associate. His humility, character and attractive personality won for him the respect and affectionate regard of all with whom he came in contact, and it may well be said of him that he devoted his Life and talents to the protection against illness of others and control and correction of industrial hazards to enable his fellow men to have better and safer conditions under which to perform their daily tasks. "It is therefore fitting that we should record our recognition of our distin guished fellow member and regret with heartfelt sorrow his loss and commend his high character and kindly demeanor as an ideal of personal conduct and as an ex ample to his feUowman. "NOW. THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that out of respect for the memory of our deceased friend and in recognition of his valued services to in dustry and to the Foundation, we direct that these resolutions be spread upon the minutes of this meeting and that a copy of them be sent to the family of William Parks Yant as a token of the sympathy and regard of the members of this Foundation." A motion was made, seconded, and unanimously carried that this resolution be adopted. The Chairman called on Mr. E. K. Davison, a member of the Nominating Committee, to report on this Committee's recommendations pertaining to: (1) The number of members of the Board for the year 1964, and (2.) A slate of nominations for members of the Board to serve during the year 1964. Mr. Davison moved that the number of Trustees be set at 30. This motion was seconded and passed. He then submitted the names of the following persons as nominees for election to membership on the Board of Trustees. Earle T. Andrews Pennsylvania Glass Sand Corporation E. K. Davison Davison Sand lc Gravel Company Chester L. Arnold Stauffer Chemical Company Dr. Robert T. P. deTreville Industrial Hygiene Foundation Dr. Faul'W, Bachman Koppers Company, Inc.

The Chairman called upon Mr. T. F. Hatch to submit his report as Treasurer of the Foundation. Mr. Hatch summarised the financial statement pointing out that, by using actual fig* ures to September 30 and estimating to December 31, we expect to end the year 1963 with total cash and savings of about $89,965. 08, and will have an estimated excess expense over income of $13,073.65. With regard to membership in 1963, five companies joined the Foundation, one mem ber increased their dues, and nine members resigned, thus leaving us with a decrease in dues of $1,225.00 as of September 30. Based upon anticipated income and expense for 1964, we propose a total budget of $180, 500. 00. Because of several contracts with the National Institutes of Health, which are conducted through Melton Institute, the Foundation will receive Salary credits amount ing-to-aboui $3,9,000.00. Mr. Hatch moved that a contract be approved for 1964 between Mellon Institute and Industrial Hygiene Foundation in the sum of $139, 000.00 covering the major cost of operation of the Foundation during the year 1964. This motion was seconded and unanimously passed. Following presentation of the Treasurer's report, it was moved, seconded, and passed that the Treasurer's report be accepted, " * ~ The Chairman explained that the Foundation, since its inception, has received continu ous financial support from Mellon Institute. From 1935 until 1958, this amount was significantly higher than at present, but a review of experience indicates that an average grant of about $30, 000. 00 has been made to the Foundation each year since 1958. It has been the generous supplementary t contribution from Mellon Institute which has enabled 1HF to continue its operations for 28 years without modification of its dues structure. It was taken into account by the Board in 1963 that it 3. I would be necessary to operate at a deficit for perhaps two to three years In order to reorganize and overhaul the Foundation in an attempt to breathe new life into it. The 1963 deficit was, therefore, anticipated. - - Dr, deTreviUe then read his report as Managing Director of the Foundation, (A copy of his remarks entitled "Foundation Facts" is included in this report.) ' The Chairman then opened the meeting for general discussion. ' Dr. deTreville reported that the Foundation's Technical Committees had all held lun cheon meetings that day and had advised him that they would like time to plan a full, highly techni cal program for next year. This will be done, even if it is found necessary to extend the meeting for an additional day in order to respond to the needs of our members. There being no further business to come before this Membership Meeting, the meeting was adjourned at 5:00 p.m. E. K. Davison Secretary 'i I t FOUNDATION FACTS* by Robert T. P. deTrevilte, M. D., Managing Director Industrial Hygiene Foundation . I. Organisation .~ Industrial Hygiene Foundation of America, Inc., is a non-profit research association of industries for advancing industrial hygiene and occupational health, improving working con ditions and bettering human relations. An independent research fellowship at Mellon Institute, Pittsburgh. ZHF is made up of almost 40D member companies. These companies manage the Foundation under a constitution and Code of Regulations, by means of a Board of Trustees. The Trustees are drawn chiefly from industrial management of the membership, but include repre sentatives from universities, as shown in the program for the Annual Meeting this year. The work of the Foundation is carried on by a Managing Director and staff, consultants, and com mittees: Chemical-Toxicological, Engineering, Legal, Medical, and Nursing. II. Functions The Office of the Managing Director administers IHF programs, budget, membership . applications, correspondence, contracting, public relations and personnel under the supervision of the Board of Trustees and within general administrative policies of Mellon Institute, and is re sponsible for maintaining high professional, technical, and ethical standards, and for assuring that the work of the Foundation proceeds in a businesslike and effective manner toward accomplish ment of stated goals. The Managing Director is assisted by professional and technical staff members. Research Laboratory-Division - Dr. Paul Cross, Research Pathologist, provides highly specialized scientific advice in the evaluation of research needs of tnembti companies and in the design of experiments for solving specific problems. He alto initiates and designs investi gations for submission to the National Institutes of Health. He supervises the IHF Research Lab and interprets the results of pathological and toxicological studies, and provides liaison with other leading scientists. He is assisted in all research functions fcy Mr. James M. McNerney, Research Toxicologist, who administers projects and personnel of the lab. In our Engineering and Analytical Division, Mr. William J. Schreibeis, Industrial Hygiene Engineer, performs industrial hygiene surveys, including stack sample^, in-plant; per forms physical and chemical analyses of samples collected. Provides technical assistance to * Presented at 28th Annual Meeting of Industrial Hygiene Foundation, October 23-24, 1963, Pittsburgh, Pa. . 5. member companies. Arranges highly technical assistance from Mellon Institute or other specialised labs as required. Studies performed include noise, radiation, heat, chemical and dust measurements. Assistance is provided in design of proper controls in new plant or process design. Provides industrial hygiene engineering support to Metlon Institute in certain research projects. Provides liaison with other engineers and scientists in fields of atmospheric pollution control, noise abatement, stream pollution control, etc. - In the Technical Library Division. Dr. John Metschl, Editor, prepares the monthly Industrial Hygiene Digest by abstracting, classifying and editing articles from scientific and technical journals. He maintains the technical literature file and searches these files for inform ation required by member company representatives. He also maintains liaison with other such services in industry, government, private institutions and universities. III. Services Provided during 1963 A. Regular services provided by IBS' have been; 1) Industrial Hygiene Digest contains approximately 100 abstracts each month which are grouped by subject. We are attempting to broaden the scope of the Digest by introducing special editorials and full-length articles which we believe will be of particular interest to man agement. Examples of these appeared in the Industrial Hygiene Digest during the year. 2) Bulletins - This year, three new bulletins were issued in our special series: Legal Bulletin No. 4 on the Current Status of Compensation for Pneumoconioses; Engineering Bulletin No. 5 on International Audiometric Zero; and Chemical-Toxicological Bulletin No, 2 on Hygienic Guides. The Transactions of the Z7th Annual Meeting were published as the March 1963 issue of the Archives of Environmental Health and ware distributed to all members, 31 There continued to be requests for information on a wide range of subjects. One such inquiry was received on electromagnetic radiation, and resulted in the supplement to the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists Threshold Limit Values published in the September Digest. Representatives of four industries met with us to propose or review industry-wide research projects. Two members requested our coordination on products sales brochues regarding health hazard controls. Another member requested coordination on a train ing film on industrial hygiene. . : 4) Seminars and training programs - Seminars are being prepared f$ two institutes on prevention of silicosis and welding hazards. Because of availability of training programs in the Public Health Service, it was not considered necessary to hold the basic course in industrial hygiene this year. However, special training on highly technical aspects of industrial hygiene and air pollution control was conducted for one member company and for several IHF consultants. B. Research performed by IHF has been in the following general areas; 1) Basic and applied toxicological research - The basic research undertaken by the Foundation belongs in three categories: that sponsored by the National Institutes of Health, that sponsored by industry, and that which is unsponsored, ' Most of our basic research has been and is being sponsored by the National Insti'. * tutes of Health, One of the problems under investigation is concerned with the conditions or factors that govern the rate at which the lungs cleanse themselves of inhaled dust. Our working hypothesis is that adequate respiratory excursions of the lung tissue are necessary for the self cleaning mechanism by which the respiratory tract removes approximately 987. of the inhaled dust. A second project is concerned with the study of a method for the production of experimental lung cancer which could serve as a model Idt determining the lung cancer producing hazard of certain industrial chemicals. Although we have been successful in producing lung canc^rm in animals, we do not believe that the method is sufficiently sensitive at present. A third investiga tion sponsored by the N1H deals with the factors involved in spontaneous regression of chronic pneumonitis, using experimentally produced early silicosis as a model. The fourth and last study under this category is concerned with the relationship which has been found in the asbestos textile industry between lung cancer and asbestosis. At the present time, we have one investigation sponsored by industry. The object of this study has been to determine if dust deposits in the lungs add a measurable functional handi cap to lungs which have been impaired hy reduced respiratory excursions such as is seen in em physema or which are edematous as in congestive heart failure. The unsponsored research has been performed in part in cooperation with the Graduate School of Public Health of the University of Pittsburgh and with Dr. H. E. Stokinger of the Public Health Service in Cincinnati. The problem studied is the basic response of the respira tory membrane to irritants in very low concentrations. * '2) Applied toxicological research - Range-finding toxicity tests have been performed on about a dozen chemical compounds. The toxicology laboratory has also performed an evalu ation of a potential process hazard and of an equipment development hazard; also dermatological studies of sensitization and primary irritation as well as chemical carcinogenicity. 3)The Engineering and Analytical Division of the Foundation has performed numerous field studies regarding atmospheric and industrial hygiene: air pollutant surveys, industrial 7. hygiene surveys, industrial hygiene inspection surveys, industrial hygiene consultation regard ing process hazard evaluation and control; clay mine dust survey, glass works dust survey, atmospheric gaseous pollutant survey, industrial hygiene survey training in the field, evalua tion of potential beryllium hazard in a new process, stack sampling for particulate matter and ammonia in a mixed fertilizer granulating plant; and size separation and x-ray diffraction analysis of dust samples. 4) Bibliographic research was performed on several chemical compounds. 5) Epidemiological studies were undertaken on an industry-wide basis in conjunction with several member companies. In conclusion, during 1963. IHF services have been designed to meet the needs of the membership, as requested; this policy will continue in 1964. Through participation with other agencies active in the field of occupational health, and with the competent assistance of IHF com mittees, we hope to develop certain programs which, in addition to being of benefit to our mem bership, wilt further advance the standards of practice of occupational health, more effectively utilizing our national resources in accomplishing the Foundation's mission. * 9. BUDGET FOR 1964 Headquarters It Engineering Salaries (including fringe benefits) Industrie!
