Mr. Henry j. Whitson National Lead Company 111 Broadway New York 6, New York
Dear Mr. Whitson:
I enclose herewith two copies of a report which is a composite of a fairly detailed report, provided to me by Mr. Cfeolak and of my interpretation and conclusions. This will cover the ground I believe, and while it has been long in coming forth it is sufficient in detail and scope to suit your purposes. As I pointed out to you Oh the telephone, it does not advance the purpose which we had in mind in undertaking it. It supplies useful information, however, that enables us to speak with some assurance from the aspect of industrial hygiene.
I cannot in all honesty accuse myself of any negligence in not having put the fully assembled information in your hands sooner, for I haye done the best I could do, with one exception, in trying to work my way out from under the difficulties which were brought upon me by the necessity of going abroad on a special and wholly unantici pated mission in June and July. I should, however, have noted carefully the analytical findings on the blood of your Company's employees instead of glancing at them hurriedly and making certain assumptions about them. I should then have reported them to you, in advance of the completion of the report, with my recommendations concerning them. I sincerely hope that no harm Will have come to the men or to your situation through my failure to act promptly in this way, but whether there has been, or may later be,trouble about this, I do not excuse myself for this professional fault.
In due course, when we have put the proper information in the hands of the business office of the Laboratory, a bill will be sent to cover the cost of the performance of this work and the preparation of the reports. Meanwhile, if you wish to direct any inquiry to me as to what might be done farther, I shall be able to reply reasonably promptly. I am returning on October 13th to London-to be gone until tho 28th.
Cordially yours,
RAX:ss Enclosure -- 2 copies of report

The Potential Hazard of Lead Absorption Associated With the Handling of a Specific Paint Pigment
Developed and Manufactured by National Lead Company
I*. Statement of the Problem and the general Methods of Investigation.
A special pginent has been developed for the purpose of
providing better and more lasting protection of metallic surfaces against
corrosion than that which appears to be given by previously available paints,
it seemed likely that a pigment with such properties of resistance to chemical
attack sight also be relatively inert within the human body and, therefore,
might be relatively low In potential hasard, front the occupational viewpoint,
when used in paints to be applied to metallic surfaces and objects in the
Inproduction lines of industry.
order to obtain some evidence, of at least
a suggestive type, on this point, prior to the actual introduction of such
paint into commercial use on a large scale, certain observations were planned
and carried out, whereby the order of magnitude of the respiratory exposure
of the few workmen, who have been engaged in the production and packaging of
the dry pulverized pigment, would be estimated, and the extent of the absorption
of lead by these individuals could be determined. By such means, one might
hope to discover -whether the absorption of lead by the workmen was in general
keeping with the apparent intensity of their respiratory exposure to lead, or
whether there was a fairly obvious quantitative discrepancy between exposure
and absorption. In view of the impossibility of making a precise appraisal
of the conditions to which the workmen had been exposed during the period of
employment which preceded this survey, and considering, also the extent to
E 0018386
2
which the physiologic responses of mat to the absorption of lead are dependent upon the factors of time and the variability of the daily intake of lead, it was evident that little or nothing could b learned by any number of observations of the type contemplated, unless the discrepancy between the estimated magnitude of the exposure and the quantitative evidence of absorption should turn out to be large. Nevertheless the attempt seened to
be Justified, since even a limited number of observations could he expected to
reveal the status of the workmen, with respect to the extent of their absorption of lead.
Pursuant to these considerations, two types of information were sought in connection with the operations by which the paint pigment was being manufactured. No other operations, save those concerned with the production of this product, were being carried out within this isolated part of the general plant, and there was no reason to believe that other operations in adjacent areas of the plant were exerting an influence upon the basic environmental conditions which surrounded these operations.
1. A single brief survey of the dispersion of lead compounds in the atmosphere in the vicinity of all of the operation was made while the operations wqre being carried out in routine manner. The air was sampled in such a way as to yield fairly representative results and the samples were retained to The .'fettering laboratory for analysis. The results, and a brief discussion of their
significance, are provided in part II of this report.
2. Samples of the urine and blood of the workmen were obtained in containers supplied by this Laboratory, according to prescribed procedures, and were shipped to the Laboratory. The samples were identified by labels on which the name of the workman was inscribed, and a brief notation of the employ ment status of each man was provided. The information obtained in the latter notations is tabulated in part III of this report.

II. The Results of a Survey Made on C&e Bay Oaly in The Plant in Which Basic 'head Silica C h r o m i c Pigssent, "MSO" s Being Prodticed.
A brief analytical survey was undertakes on June 28, I960, to detersaine the concentrations of lead in the air in association with the manufacture of basic lead sllico ctosste pigment "a$0w, la the St. louis, Missouri plant of National lead Company* Hie findings are representative only of the conditions existing oa that day. They caaaot be regarded as indicative of generally prevailing conditions, for there any be wide vari ations Iron tia to time in accordance with seasonal influences or changes ia the rate of production of the pigment*
Operating Conditions: Pigment "HSQ" is a chemically active paint pigment^f which the
colored ingredient is bonded to the surface of a chemically inert material. The pigaent is produced in what may be considered an essentially closed systes.except as it is vented to dust collectors, on the one hand, and is emptied Into containers, oa the other. Fine silica charged fro bags into a hopper ia carried by means of a screw conveyor and a ventilated elevator conveyor to a pebble ill,where it ia ground in water for several hours. The contents of the pebble mill are then emptied into a reaction vessel to which the appropriate quantities of litharge and chromic acid are added. The charge of litharge is added mechanically through a weighing tank, while the chromic acid charge is prepared manually by dumping the content of two drums into water to form a solution which is added to the reaction vessel. After a suitable period of residence in the reaction tank the slurry is pumped to a surge tank and the above process is repeated to produce the next batch of pigment.
The slurry is pumped to an Oliver drum-suction filter,where the pigment
KE 0018388

is separated from the water and is transferred by means of a screw conveyor to a kiln for drying. The dried pigment then is-Carried by an elevator to storage, from which it is fed continuously to a Raymond Ink Mill in which the particles are ground to the desired Size. The ground product passes to a storage tank and finally to a bagging machine for packaging.
Four dust-collectors are. Connected to the various units of the production equipment. One collector serves the silica elevator and pebble mill, a second is used to collect dust produced in the equipment used to charge and move the litharge and chromic acid, a third serves the kiln, elevator, conveyor, pigment storage and the Raymond Mill, while the fourth air-cleaning unit collects dust produced by the bagging machine.
The greatest and most continuous exposure to dust occurs at the charging hopper, when bags of silica are emptied, and at the bagging machine, when the pigment is packaged. The amount of dust produced at the latter machine depends partly on the manner in which the operator check-weighs the bags and handles the filled bags while loading the palletes. A brief exposure to particulate chromic oxide occurs-during the time that each drum of chromic acid is emptied, and exposure to lead dusts may also occur when the contents of the weigh-tank are added to the reaction-tank. On the day of this survey, the slide valve on the weigh-tank was warped and particles of litharge escaped into the room for a short period of time. This opening was sealed by applying a mastic material to the valve, after which the weigh-tank was emptied satis factorily of its content of litharge. The employees always wore respirators when working at the litharge weigh-tank and the bagging machine, and when emptying bags of silica.
The housekeeping in the plant generally was good, floors and equipment
0018389
5"
being cleaned up several times during each shift, nevertheless the floors in some areas were stained with the highly colored pigment, and the clothes of the workmen also became contaminated with pigment and silica When they liaaaleci the bagged materials. Compressed sir was used: to remove dust from the clothing,, and some dry sweeping was being carried out with a push broom and "dust down''. These two procedures are unsatisfactory,as will be indicated later.
procedures:
Dusts were removed from the air in the various areas of the
plant by means of an electrostatic precipitator, or by filtering the air through Whatman #40 filter paper or through a aillipore filter. The samples of dusts were then analysed for their content of lead by the colorimetric dithisone extraction procedure customarily used in The Kettering Laboratory.
Results; The concentrations of lead in the air at the various locations
in the plant are tabulated in Table l. The content of lead la dusts removed from various structures is also indicated, A summary giving the average concentration of lead at the various locations, and the overall average con centration of lead in the air of the plant, is given in Table 2.
Discussion and Conclusion: When the findings are considered in relation to the threshold 3
limit of 0.2 mg. Pb/M commonly regard as applicable to safe industrial practice in the U.S.A., it appears that the environmental conditions, in this respect, are satisfactory. It should be borne in mind, however, that the findings of this survey relate only to a single day of operation, and that

the prevalent conditions of atmospheric contamination with lead can be portrayed only by a systematic program of repeated air sampling which
would take into consideration the many factors affecting the dispersion of lead dusts into the atmosphere. Moreover, any factors that contribute to the ingestion (swallowing) of lead compounds must also be taken into account. Our observations in this plant indicated that several of the operations were potentially hazardous. These areas have been recognised, and respirators are worn regularly by the employees during the conduct of the operations. Careless habits of work, the use of ill-fitting respirators, or the failure to use a respirator during these operations might result in potentially hazardous exposure to lead.
III.
The Results of a Single Survey of the Levels of Lead Absorption of Workmen Engaged in the Production of a Pigment,HSO, as Demonstrated by the Concentration of Lead in their Urine and Blood.
The number of men engaged in this work was small, and consequently
.1
all were included in these examinations. It did not appear that a searching
occupational history or a comprehensive medical history would contribute
.
materially to the information being sought for the specific purpose of this
investigation, however desirable such information might be for other reasons.
Nor did it seem likely that detailed medical examinations would prove to be
useful for the specific purpose indicated in part I of this report. The
idea behind the observations, as so indicated, was that of establishing, in
the simplest and least costly manner, the relationship between the occupational
exposure of the men to lead and their physiological response thereto. Whatever
else might be learned, from the aspect of industrial hygiene or other considerations,
was regarded as purely incidental and subject to such later consideration as

Physiological Significance of the Analytical Data Viewing the results of the analyses of the urine anti blood for
their significance, without lasacdiate reference to the specific question posed for answer, it is noted that on laan in the group Isas absorbed a dangerous quantity of lead, and that two others have absorbed quantities, i which, in tareis of the concentration of lead in the blood, are not far from ? the threshold of danger. These on, in the decreasing sequence of the extent of their absorption, are Silas Taylor, whose blood^and urine as well,
give evidence of excessive absorption; William E. Hill, whose blood level,
!
K 0018396
12
if taken as the average of tit two results, is Just at the threshold value
(we consider the value of 0G7 mg, per 100 grams to he nearer to the truth,
in all likelihood, because of the deraonstrably lesser variability of results
obtained by the "dithizone" method of analysis), while the urinary concen
tration of lead is disproportionately low (probably by mere chance); and
hose blood level is not far from the threshold, while
the urinary lead concentration is in the upper normal range. The other
members of the group have yielded significantly lower (but probably not
strictly normal) levels of lead concentration in their blood, and highly
variable concentrations (all within the normal range but in the upper normal .
zone) of lead in their urine. The reason for the parenthetical reference to
the improbability that any result on the blood is "strictly" normal, lies
in the fact that, while values of Q.G5 tag. per 100 grams are in the upper
normal range, there is no representation, in this group of samples, of the
low or Intermediate zones of the normal range. One accepts the likelihood,
therefore, that all persons within this group have absorbed soise lead in the
course of their employment.
,,
In general, the absorption of lead by the men la this group, as
revealed by the analyses of the blood, have not been such as to categorize
their jobs as hazardous, but two packers have yielded relatively high results
(one is in danger), while only one of the operators has a comparatively high
value. It seems reasonably certain that the worst hazard attaches itself
to the job of "packing".
Some remarks on the practical significance of the concentration
of lead in the urine and blood, as an Indication of the time of occurrence
and the extent of the absorption of lead, as well as the relationship of
K E M l 83.??
- 13 -
of those matters to the initiation of lead poisoning, may be useful at this point In this report. It has seen demonstrated experitsentally and in practice, that the concentration of lead in the blood, and the rate of the excretion of lead,.in the urine, when considered in relation to the duration of occupational exposure, provide the best means of appraising the hygienic significance of the exposure and the extent of the hazard associated therewith. Indeed, it has been shown that these are the only reliable Keans of estimating the significance of occupational exposure to lead, from the aspect of preventive medicine. Ail other methods are non specific, and are unsatisfactory, in that they do not constitute a means of measuring the intensity of the exposure to, and the absorption of, lead.
j
To abbreviate and go straight to the point, it has been shorn beyond
controversy that the normal, healthy individual in the general population, who has had no occupational or otherwise unusual exposure to lead, has a level of lead concentration in his blood which may range within the limits of 0.01 to 0.05 ag. per 100 grams and will average 0.03 mg. per 100 grams. Under the conditions of non-hazardous exposure to lead, the concentration in the blood may be as high as 0.07 to 0.075 ag. per 100 grams, but if the exposure (and absorption) is such that the level is in excess of 0.03 mg. per 100 grams, the individual may develop symptoms and signs of intoxication. Through comparative investigations in industry, it has been demonstrated, entirely pragmatically, that cases of poisoning occur within groups of workmen under conditions which give rise to levels of lead concentration in their blood in excess of 0,,GS rag. per 100 grams, and that the incidence of the disease (which does not affect all individuals at the same time or at any time) increases, as does also its severity, as the concentration in the blood of groups of workmen
KE 0018398
14 -
increases. Hence we may use the. M o o d level associated with a
specific occupation or industry, as an indication of the hazard therein,
and as a means of determining whether or not measures of hygienic control
are required to prevent poisoning. In the case of the individual, we
remove him from exposure, before he has a chance to become ill, when he
reaches a point just under the threshold value, and return him to work
later when he has returned to a normal or safe level, preferably after the
unsatisfactory situation has been corrected.
The same general principles apply also to the lead in the urine,
> '
.
with the exception that one can never be quite so precise in his appraisal
of the status of an individual, because of the intrinsic variability of
the urinary excretion of lead, for physiological reasons. Thus more frequent
and more extensive sampling and analysis of the urine are required to pro
vide information equivalent to that which can be obtained by the analysis of
the blood. Under the conditions of occupational exposure to lead, however,
the urinary findings are highly useful, in themselves, since, as a generali
zation which does not always hold 'true in the individual case, the rate of
the urinary excretion of lead by the members of an occupational group provides
a very good indication of the extent and the variability of the exposure of the
men in their daily work, from time to time. The blood, on the other hand,
reveals, much better than the urine, the extent of the body burden of lead
{the total, overall accumulation of lead in the tissues). The normal con
centration of lead in samples of urine of small volume (80-120 ml.) ranges
from 0.01 to 0.12 (occasionally as high as 0.14) mg. per liter, the mean
(or average) being 0.03 mg. per liter. The levels may range up to 0.17 or
even 0.20 mg. per liter and average around 0.10 - 0.12 mg. per liter, under
0018399
IS -
the conditions of safe occupational..exposure .to. lead, but, hen 'they . reach or exceed 0.30 mg. per liter and average around 0.15 to 0.18 rag. per liter, (dependent upon climatic and certain other factors) they are indicative of the same degree of'danger that is associated with blood levels, of 0.08 mg. or more per ICQ grass of whole blood.
In the light of the preceding paragraphs, it will be apparent that the work in which certain of these men have been engaged is hazardous, and that cases of lead poisoning can be expected to develop song these men at some future time unless steps are taken to reduce the number and severity of the opportunities for absorbing lead in the course of their work. This applies with special pertinence to the job of filling bags with the pigment.
The status of Silas Taylor was such that his exposure to lead should have been terminated summarily. He was not ill, presumably, or at most, not ill enough to be unable to work, and he may not have developed any illness since, but even if he is without any complaint, he should be transferred to work involving no Exposure to lead until the lead in his blood shall have dropped to a safe level. The other two sen with relatively small margins of safety should also be protected by suitable means against further excessive exposure, and certainly, improvements in the environmental conditions should be made promptly. Some such improvements (elimination of sweeping and use of compressed air jets for dusting, avoidance of breakage of bags and spillage of contents during filling operations) can be affected at once. Such other steps os may be needed to maintain complete safety can be determined later as required.
It is also recommended, as a means of controlling the hazards of
0018400
IS
this and other parts of the plant(Gxide Department)/, that some monitoring of the atmospheric conditions be initiated and repeated at suitable intervals, and that the medical supervision be revised to comply with modern criteria of preventive medicine (we were not consulted in relation to these gutters, but a reasonable degree of professional responsibility and candor calls for these advisory remarks *)
IV. Discussion of the Findings in Relation to the Original Objective. It will be evident that the analytical findings in the blood and
urine of the workmen in this plant, when considered in relation to the results of the analysis of samples of air, do not Justify the conclusion that there is any striking, intrinsic obstacle to the absorption of this lead compound. Chi the contrary, the air analyses, of themselves, would appear to demonstrate that the environmental conditions associated with its production have been generally safe (there is sufficient reason, on the basis of certain observed practices to believe that this is not strictly true), whereas the analyses of the urine and blood have revealed the existence of a potentially dangerous degree of absorption. The conclusion must be, therefore, that the same type of precautions must be taken to avoid occupational exposure to this lead-containing product that are applied to other, more common compounds of lead. We see no good reason why the control of exposure should not be achieved satisfactorily in the establish^ aunts in which this product is projected for use. This, however, is not pertinent to this discussion, except in passing.
Certain properties of this pigment have come to our attention in the course of these observations (ana a preliminary visit to the plant).
0018401
- 17
Cue of these that is noteworthy In limiting the hazard of various' procedures
concerned with the handling of the material la a dry state, is the heaviness of the compound, aa well as a tendency on the part of the particles to lump together and.fall out of the air rapidly, instead of giving rise to a more or less persistent dispersion of duet in the air. Despite our Inch of information as to how this product would be supplied to its users, and our assumption that it would be provided as a ready-mixed liquid paint or more concentrated paste, it seems worth while to mention this property of the product. From this aspect of the matter, this pigment should be capable of being handled with less hazard, under a given set of conditions, than that which is associated with some of the fluffier pigments.
