5. Establish Company Industrial Hygiene Central Department
Pulmonary Function Utilize Pulnonor Machine Determine which tests give best applicable results:
Forced Expiratory Rate Vital Capacity Timed Vital Capacity Work with Dr. C. Reinhardt Visit with Dr. Tomashefski in Columbus, Ohio, for intricacy
of testing. Develop pre-testing questionnaire
Work with Dr. C. Reinhardt and S. Pell Use C.W. as pilot plant Re-evaluate results in approximately six months. If valuable, set up standards for entire Du Pont Co. utilization
Nickel '(with infarction) Relation of Nickel Content with Myocardial Infarction Nickel Study If a new case of acute myocardial infarction is determined, we are requested to obtain within the first 2k hours 10 cc. of Sere (centrifuge sample) from the patient. Simultaneously, we should draw a control sample from a comparable subject--ege, sex, height, weight, etc.
-
Send both samples to Haskell Laboratory c/o W. Clayton, utilizing
letters for identification such as A, B, C, etc. Send pertinent
information concerning the patient to Dr. C. A. D'Alonzo, Wilmington,
Delaware.
