3. Inorganic Dust (except Asbestos) Containing no Free Silica
SYMPTOM. CONDITION, OR DISEASE TO LOOK FOR
ExiKwnre to inorganic duets containing no free silica has been found in some instances to be associated with simple linear fibrosis (uotnqwciflc benign fibrosis. Gardner) not associated with disability. The exact relationship of various dusts to this tyiNf flbrotlc reaction is not entirely dear.

F. Infections
Infections, both localized and systemic. are frequently of occu pational origin. Anthrax, fungus infections, undulant fever, and ``septie infectious7* are typical examples. A brief snmmnry of the symptoms of these diseases and the principal occupations in which infection is likely to occur are given in this section. Other infectious diseases especially worthy of mention are listed below:
