In the laboratory it is necessary to correlate the data on this card with the volume, analytical procedure (polarographic, dithizone, and so on), and results--information to he retained in the files for a limited period for reference in the event that a question as to the results should arise. A mimeographed columnar form was used and the data were entered in pencil, red being used where there .was any divergence from the normal technique.

A permanent record of the findings on each individual is kept in the
industrial hygiene department, with a duplicate in card form at the plant for the
convenience of the local doctor (see Figures 4 and 5). Here all pertinent data
on the individual and his environment are assembled, with records of the analyses
that show the effect of his environment upon him. The graphic record on the back

groups for study of the trends in any one department or building or men with
different lengths of exposure may be separated for comparison, .
As the work of improving the environment progresses, study of these cards
affords a means of determining whether--and where--the sampling should be
continued and where reduced to quarterly or semiannual intervals. As the results
are reviewed each month, any unusual conditions are obvious and the industrial
hygienist can take steps at once to find the cause and provide relief.
