The pamphlet soon attracted the attention or others not immediately interested in insurance medical examinations. Large numbers of industrial physicians, directors of compensation boards, factory in spectors. safety engineers, industrial rehabilitation agents, faculties of medical colleges, and, most'important of all, general practitioners of medicine have made a call for this work and nave expressed their approval of it. The favorable response encouraged us to proceed with the preparation of a second and much enlarged edition. This edi tion- was equally well received. Published 10 years ago, it is still in constant demand. It has been reproduced either in whole or in part in a number of works by authorities on the subject of industrial hygiene. The authors are convinced by their experience with these earlier editions that this pamphlet has served a useful purpose, and that there is a vital need for a work of this kind, which makes readily available the most recent findings on industrial hazards to those who have not the time for a thorough study. Obviously, the extension of the compensation laws of the several States to include all occupational diseases, or an increasing number of them, has made it necessary for physicians to be familiar with at least their most common symptoms. The 10 years which have elapsed since the publication of the second edition of this guide have seen wide expansion and a marked in crease in activities in the field of industrial hygiene. They have been noteworthy for the large number of scientific investigations under taken to determine the causes of ill health among workmen and the effects of exposure to specific industrial hazards. Complete reports have been published not only on the effects of such poisons as radio active paint, methyl bromide, and other refrigerants, and tetraethyl lead, which have become of importance only recently, but our knowl edge of well-known health hazards has also been enriched. To memtion only a few, benzol, spray painting, and exposure to asbestos dust and to dusts containing free silica, have been thoroughly studied and reported upon. In preparing this, the third edition of the pamphlet, the authors have endeavored to present the most recent thought on occupational hazards expressed in this vast literature on industrial hygiene. They realize full well the inadequacy of existing knowledge of the effects of many industrial hazards, and the amount of scientific research neces sary before these effects are definitely known. They have not pre sumed to attempt to settle controversial questions, nor have they `U.S. Biireau of Labor Statlatlca, Bui. No. 308: Occupation ba**rdi and dlarnojt'e ilgna. Waibinrton, 1922. vr PREFACE attempted to set up standards for the guidance of those whose responsibility it is to pass upon claims for compensation or damages. The symptoms, conditions, or diseases cited are those which are reported in the best works available on the several hazards. They have not been listed in the order of their importance, and many are perhaps of rather rare occurrence. Similarly, the occupations and industries listed are those which have been reported as offering ex posure to such hazards, and not necessarily those in which specific cases of injury have occurred. The form of the pamphlet has been changed somewhat to facilitate reference to the symptoms and occupations listed under each hazard. While the number of hazard groups remains the same, we have com pletely revised the method of presenting some of the hazards. " Ex treme light ", now listed as " radiant energy ", has been subdivided to show separately the effects of " X-rays and radium ", and of " ultra violet and infrared rays." "Abnormalities of temperature " is now subdivided to show the effects of " heat and humidity " in addition to those of " extreme dry heat " and " sudden variations of tempera ture." The hazards covered now include " abnormalities of temper ature " compressed air "; " dampness ": " defective illumination "; "dust"; "infections"; "radiant energy"; "repeated motion, pres sure, shock, etc."; and the " poisons.'" The section on " skin irri tants " is now listed under the heading " dermatoses." The number of poisonous substances considered has been increased from 52 to 94. The number of hazardous occupations listed has been increased to approximately 900. The authors desire to acknowledge their indebtedness to the mem bers of the medical profession of the United States and Canada, who have so graciously received the previous editions, and who have so enthusiastically cooperated in extending its scope. It would be impracticable to make personal acknowledgment of all the assist ance which has been received in preparing this revision. Mention, however, should be made of the following authors and organisations from whose published works so large a part of the information used in the pamphlet was secured: Drs. Alice Hamilton, George M. Kober, Emery R. Hayhurst, Yandell Henderson, Howard W. Haggard, R. Prosser White. Carey P. McCord, Henry H. Kessler, Ralph W. Webster, Frank P. Underhill, W. Gilman Thompson, and also the International Labor Office of the League of Nations, Harvard School of Public Health, United States Bureau of Labor Statistics, United States Public Health Service, United States Bureau of Mines, and the Bureau of Industrial Hygiene of the New York State Depart ment of Labor. The authors are especially indebted to Dr. Anthony J. Lanza and Dr. William J. McConnell, assistant medical directors of the Metro politan Life Insurance Co., for reviewing the entire manuscript, for assistance in the preparation of the text, and for many valuable criticisms suggested by their broad experience in the fiela of indus trial medicine. The detailed work of this compilation was carried out by Thomas Dublin, Lawrence Wolff, and Sol Ungar, of the Statistical Bureau of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. , Louis I. Dublew. Robert J.

The health of those who work with the poisons, such as lead, arsenic, mercury, picric acid, etc., or those who are exposed for long periods to dust, heat, humidity, or to the infectious materials, may be impaired seriously as the result of their work. The occupation is now recognized as of the very first im portance as a factor in the causation of disability and even of death. We see this reflected in the frequent revisions of compensation laws to include an increasing number of occupational diseases. Dr. Edsall has shown that in the clinic he conducted at the Massachusetts General Hospital many of the conditions for which treatment was sought by men of working ages were the effects of occupation. Other industrial clinics are reporting similar results. With their attention directed to occupation as a possible factor, industrial physicians are able to diagnose a great many obscure cases which previously had puzzled even the most competent clinicians. In thus way they discover a great many more cases of disease of occupa tional origin than haa before been thought possible. Thus, in 1917, about 150 cases of lead poisoning were discovered at the Massa chusetts General Hospital, which are more than were recorded by this clinic during the 5-year period prior to the adoption of (he more intensive methods of study. It is generally recognized that patients come to physicians with pains and complaints of an in definite character, and it is only when consideration is given to the occupation and its possible effects that many of these cases are cleared up. The medical examiner should therefore be very careful to see if any of the usual diagnostic signs of poisoning, dust, heat, or other hazards which are known to be inherent in occupations are in evi dence among their patients, where no other explanation of the case is readily available. In the case of those exposed to lead, such as employees of storage-battery plants, white-lead workers, paint mixers, painters, etc., the blue line on the gum, the pale, sallow ap pearance, and the trembling fingers are significant as indications of chrome lead poisoning, and tne physician should look for these signs. Physical symptoms and conditions which ordinarily might be passed by, in this way become very important if they point to the possible effect of the occupation. 2 OCCUPATION HAZAEDS AND DIAGNOSTIC SIGNS This handbook has been prepared to aid physicians in general prac tice, industrial hygienists, safety engineers, and others who come into close professional contact with those who are engaged in industrial processes. Nine major hazards of employment are listed; namely, "abnormalities of temperature"; "compressed air"; "dampness"; " defective illumination "; " dust "; " infections "; " radiant energy "; " repeated motion, pressure, or shock "; and the " poisons." A sepa rate section of the bulletin is devoted to a discussion of the der matoses. Long exposure to any of these will usually leave definite physical signs which the medical examiner can discover if he will look for them. To aid him in detecting the hazards and their effects on the worker, two lists are presented. The first consists of the more common hazardous occupations; arranged alphabetically; the second consists of hazards, together with their effects or symptoms, as well as the occupations affected. After each occupation in the first list i5 a reference in code to the particular hazard in the second list. The capital letters after each occupation, A, B, C, etc., refer to the general hazard. The arabic numerals signify the particular hazard, as E 1, inorganic dust; E 2, organic dust. The following example will show how this guide may be of value to the general practitioner: A man, who works in a garage, suffering from continuous headaches visits his physician. The latter can find no cause for the patient's illness. The patient shows no sign of disease other than the subjective symptoms which he describes. Per haps the physician will recommend an examination of the subject's eyes, ears, and sinuses, which will prove negative. A correct diag nosis in a puzzling case such as this is much easier to determine when the occupation is ascertained and this guide is utilized. Alongside of " garage workers " in the Alphabetical List of Hazardous Occupa tions, the physician finds the symbols J 15, 24. 51, 85. "J " represents the hazard " poisons ", and 15, 24, 51, 85, the particular poisons-- ?asoline, carbon monoxide, lead, and tetraethyl lead, respectively. ipon looking up the symptoms of these poisons in the second list, he finds that all produce headache. In such a case an effort should be made to discover which of these poisons exists as a hazard in the plant where the patient is employed. The remedy consists in the removal of the etiological factor--the specific poison. The following procedure is therefore recommended: The medical examiner or physician should ascertain the occupation of the person undergoing examination. He should then look for it in the Alpha betical List of Hazardous Occupations (p. 4). If found there, it is possible that the person has been exposed to and is possibly suf fering from the effects of some hazard of his occupation. The num erals will indicate the particular hazards of the occupation. The physician should then make special effort to discover the symptoms or signs referred to in the second list. By this means he can readily determine whether the person examined is in fact suffering from the effect of his occupation. His examination is in this way made more illuminating. Physicians, not specialists in occupational hygiene, can thus learn to detect the effects of industry and, conversely, can eliminate, the occupation as the cause when certain symptoms are ob served which do not fit the usually observed effects of the occupation. ENTBODTjCTIOK 3 Medical examiners should remember that it is often necessary to keep in mind not only the present occupation but the former one as well. Persons suffering from certain ailments may no longer be engaged in the industry which was responsible for their condition. But careful inquiry into their occupational history will sometimes result in the recording of an occupation the effects of which are clearly those from which the patient is suffering. The medical profession must give occupational findings greater weight in form ing their judgments regarding physical conditions and in diagnosing arid treating disease. It is hoped in this way that the medical profession will become more and more acquainted with occupational diseases and help in the movement to discover and eliminate cases thereof. In our country, it is still true that very large numbers of working people are con stantly exposed to serious occupational hazards and suffer, often unnecessarily, very seriously from the effects of such exposure. The greater interest of medical practitioners will help materially in the campaign of prevention. Medical schools can aid greatly in bring ing about this result by giving due weight to the subject in their courses of study. Already the form ana content of the pamphlet have recommended it to several schools, which report its value. In the same way, plant executives and safety engineers must take cog nizance of the existence of these occupational diseases and look care fully into their own establishments to see to what degree the proc esses in their shops are devoid of the dangers which are usually associated with industrial operations. Factory inspectors, labor officials, and workmen's compensation boards will find it helpful in inspecting and evaluating the hazards of -numerous industries. Many hazards may be revealed which they have not known were associated with the processes of manufacture and of which the employers themselves have been ignorant. The rapidly expanding field of industrial rehabilitation should find this bulletin an aid in selecting occupations for those with arrested cases of tuberculosis and for others weakened by disease. 181211*--3S--------2 Section I.--Alphabetical List of Hazardous Occupations Abrasives workers, E 1.

Abnormalities of Temperature and Humidity Exposure to environmental temperature beyond the action of the body's thermostatic control primarily results in disturbances of the circulatory system. The cutaneous circulation responds to heat stimulation in the skin by increasing the blood flow through the capillaries. The capillaries, responding to a reflex action of the nerves in the skin, dilate and induce the flow of a greater volume of blood through the-cutaneous circulation. Cold, on the other hand, constricts the blood vessels of the skin, causing a diminished blood supply through the cutaneous circulation and not infrequently a serious congestion of the internal organs. Abrupt changes of tem peratures, particularly from extreme neat to cooler temperatures and often to cold currents of air or drafts, are of more frequent occur rence, resulting in much bodily discomfort, and are contributory causes of neuralgia and respiratory diseases. Extremes of tempera ture may produce acute symptoms in the body directly attributable to the temperature. Thus, exposure to excessively high tempera tures results in heat exhaustion or heat stroke; to excessively low temperatures in frostbite or gangrene and death. Trie relative humidity is an important factor to consider in con nection with temperature. It is contended that a low relative humid ity tends to dry up the mucous membranes of the nose, throat, and lungs, thus lowering the resistance of these organs to infection. An excessively high relative humidity, on the other hand, is undesirable because of its interference with tne normal evaporation of moisture from the skin. Under extreme conditions of high temperatures and high relative humidities there occurs a marked Increase in the pulse rate, systolic blood pressure, and in the body temperature. Low tem peratures and high relative humidities have the effect of undermin ing the general vitality of the organism, weakening its resistance todiseases of the respiratory passages, and to neuralgia and rheumatic affections. With the above data in mind, abnormalities of tempera ture have been classified under three headings, namely, "sudden variations of temperature", "extreme dry heat", and "heat and humidity." " Extreme cold " has not been listed as a distinct hazard, because temperature so low as to cause the direct effects mentioned above is rarely met in industry. It is evident that the occupations listed in the divisions " extreme dry heat ", and " heat and humid ity," are exposed not only to the danger of the direct action of the high temperatures but also to the hazard, "sudden variations of temperature." The prevention-of diseases due to exposure to extremes of tempera ture consists, obviously, in the avoidance of sudden variations of 14 OCCUPATION1 HAZABDS AND DIAGNOSTIC SIGNB temperature. Workers in cold processes should keep active and avoid nhilf The hot-process worker should allow his body to cool off gradually after completion of the day's work. He should carefully regulate his diet, drinking plenty of water. As direct preventive measures for the effects or extreme heat, it is advisable to make use of shields, helmets, goggles, water-cooled furnace doors, exhaust systems, cold air, fans. etc. Our knowledge of the responses of the body to atmospheric con ditions has been greatly enhanced recently by studies of American and foreign investigators. Men undergoing exposure to varying degrees ox temperature, humidity, and movement of air have been medically examined. It has been amply demonstrated that these variable factors must be jointly considered in determining whether working conditions are inimical to health. Zones of comfort and discomfort and of effective working conditions have been charted. Means to mitigate the hazards of nigh temperature and humidity in certain industries have been devised. Those who have need for technical data on these subjects will find much of value in the paper by Dr. R. R. Sayers ana Sara Davenport, entitled " Review of Literature on the Physiological Effects of Abnormal Temperatures and Humidity ", in the United States Public Health Service Reports, April 8, 1927, page 933, and in reports of cooperative studies con ducted by the United States Public Health Service, United States Bureau of Mines, and the Research Laboratory of the American Society of Heating and Ventilating Engineers.

B. Compressed Air In building tunnels, laying deep foundations for large buildings, etc., it is necessary for the work to be carried on under increasedi air pressure in order to prevent the entrance of water into the exca vations. The laborer is lowered gradually and, at short intervals, the pressure of the air in the compartment is increased. The first sensation of compression is felt on the eardrums, which may be re lieved by the act of swallowing. If the air is too quickly compressed hemorrhage may occur. The greater part of the danger of working in compressed air lies in hasty decompression. While under com pression the blood and tissue juices dissolve an increased amount of air, the gases of which are released when the pressure is suddenly decreased. The bubbles of nitrogen thus formed cut off the blood supply from various parts of the body by blocking up the capillaries. The symptoms of compressed-air illness, the so-called " bends ", are the result. Workers in compressed air must follow strictly the rules govern ing gradual compression and decompression. State regulations re* gannng work in compressed air cover limits of pressure, hours of labor under varying pressures, time of compression and of decom pression, physical requirements, and other safety measures; see, for example, Inaustrial Code: Rules Relating to Work in Compressed Air, Bulletin No. 22, of the New York State Department of Labor, 1922, and the amendment to these rules reported in Special Bulletin No. 135 of the New York State Department of Labor, 1925, page 24. LIST OF HAZARDS, SYMPTOMS, BTC. 17 B.

Impairment of hearing. Occupations which offer such exposure Caisson workers j Divers | Tunnel workers C. Dampness Most processes in which dampness is a hazard are associated with high or low temperature and high relative humidity, and have been dealt with under " abnormalities of temperature." There remains, however, to be considered, exposure to wet conditions where tem perature and humidity are apparently not abnormal. Such condi tions are brought together under the heading " dampness." Tank and vat men, washers and flushers, for example, are required to carry on their duties constantly in wet clothes. Drivers and other out door workers are also subject to frequent wetting from exposure to the weather. Exposure to dampness generally has been considered to be a con tributing factor in diseases of the respiratory system, neuralgic and rheumatic affections. Possibly dampness, like sudden variations in temperature, taxes the heat-regulating mechanism of the body. When dampness is a feature of any industrial process, work places should be supplied with drain channels to prevent the accumulation of water, or use should be made of duck boarding. Adequate water proof clothes should be supplied, such as rubber boots, rubberized aprons, etc. C.

Defective Illumination Defective illumination, characterized by insufficient quantity of light, glare, unsuitability of color, and improper diffusion and dis tribution of light, is the cause of eye fatigue, headache, dizziness, and errors of refraction. Miners' nystagmus, a condition in which the eyeball acquires a peculiar oscillatory movement, is an outstanding example of the effects of insufficient illumination. This disease is very common among British miners, but apparently is not found to any extent among American miners. The explanation for the favor able situation of the American miner probably lies in the better illumination of the American mines. Not only is defective illumina tion the cause of these serious impairments of vision but it is an important factor in reduced working efficiency in industry generally, ana it is a very frequent cause of industrial accidents. The hazard of defective illumination is not limited to any single industry or group of industries. It may be present in any plant Men engaged in occupations requiring close, fine work, such as jewelers, engravers, clerks, and mail sorters, are especially liable to suffer from exposure to this hazard. It is a comparatively simple matter to provide for all the require ments for properly illuminating workplaces in some industries, while in others the advice of illuminating engineers is required. The American Standard Code of Lighting for Factories, Mills, and Other Work Places, prepared by the Illuminating Engineering Society of New York Citv, is an excellent reference work for those who nave need of a knowledge of the technical requirements of the work.

Dust Dusts hare been divided into two kinds--organic and inorganic. Organic dusts do not cause pulmonary lesions, while inorganic dusts produce fibrosis of the lung tissue, the extent of which depends upon the kind of dust, the size of the dust particles, the concentration of dust, and the length of exposure to the particular dust inhaled. Dr. H. R. if. Landir found that, when fibrosis was present in the lungs of men exposed to organic dust, the latter was always mixed with some form of inorganic dust. Workers exposed to organic dust for years showed no pulmonary changes other than those found in people living in the city. Dust, whether organic or inorganic, by acting as a carrier of bacilli, may increase their number in the lungs. In this way men exposed to dust may be in greater danger of con* tracting tuberculosis than others. Whether or not all inorganic dusts, per se, are capable of produc ing lung fibrosis, given a sufficient length of exposure and a high enough concentration of dust, is still an open question. Many inor ganic dusts found in industry have been inhaled for long periods without noticeable injury. Dusts containing free silica, however, are definitely known to be extremely harmful, producing serious pul monary damage in a comparatively short time. The pathological condition resulting from exposure to silica dust is properly referred to as silicosis. X-ray pictures of the silicotic lung show a character istic mottling due to the formation of fibrotic nodules where silica has lodged in the lymphatic system. Symptoms of the disease may not show until it is well advanced, when there is a decreased lung expan sion, marked shortness of breath, and cough. The silicotic lung is a fertile field for the tubercle bacillus: a very largepercentage of cases of silicosis terminate in a fatal tuberculosis. Tne action of silica on the lungs is to promote the growth of connective tissue. Asbestos dust is another dust which, it has recently been definitely determined, produces a lung fibrosis under existing industrial condi tions, although its action is apparently milder than that of free silica. The relation of tuberculosis and asbestos dust is not entirely clear. Complete protection for workmen exposed to silica dust has been found difficult in many processes. X-ray pictures, therefore, should be taken at regular intervals of all workmen exposed. It is of the utmost importance that these pictures be interpreted by a physician familiar with the. appearance of the lungs at various stages in the development of silicosis. Workmen who are found to be affected should be transferred to other jobs, where they will not be exposed to dust. There are four methods that may be used to keep down the amount of dust generated through industrial processes. No one of these can apply to all conditions, out the particular method to be used must be adapted to the peculiarities of the process. 1. Tne use of water or oil to wet the dust, thus preventing it from rising and filling the atmosphere. This method is now believed to be of doubtful value in some processes, and in these should not be relied upon when other methods are practicable. 2. The use of exhaust systems which remove the dust at the point of origin. ' 181218*--S8-----4 20 OCCUPATION HAZARDS AND DIAGNOSTIC SIGNS 3. The use of enclosed chambers in which the dust-producing proc esses are confined, the processes being regulated by the operator from the outside. 4.

Infections Infectious diseases are frequently of occupational origin. Among the more common of these are anthrax, hookworm, tetanus, trachoma, f;landers, tularemia, actinomycosis, ringworm, athlete's foot, undu- ant fever, and septic infections. Anthrax, hookworm, and septic infections are of especial,interest because of the frequency of their occurrence in industry. A. brief summary, therefore, of the symp toms of these diseases and the principal occupations in which infection is likely to occur have been included. Prevention of these diseases lies in the observance of the wellestablished rules of general sanitation. The following special meas ures are also recommended: 22 OCCUPATION HAZARDS AND DIAGNOSTIC SIGNS L Anthrax.--All hides and animal hair must be thoroughly steri lized. Foreign skins or hair should not be carried on tne unpro tected shoulder. The hands should be frequently washed with bichloride of mercury. Hair sorters should wear respirators. 2. Hookworm.--Workers in mines and others who are exposed to infected soil should make special effort to keep the skin clean. Shoes must always be worn and gloves are also of value in preventing the entrance of the bookworm through the skin. Infected soil should be disinfected and kept dry. The utmost attention should be given to the prevention of soil pollution. 3. Septic infections.--Cuts, scratches, or abrasions should be treated at once to avoid infection. Men having open wounds should not be allowed to work with putrid material. F. Infections 1. Anthrax Symptom, conditio^ or disease to look for Anthrax (external): () Malignant pustule.--Begins as inflamed pimple or bolL Papule becomes bard, with a purple center and deep red zone of Infiltration surrounding, ap pearance of mlnnte vesicular areola.

Local phlebitis in the edematous area, chilliness, anorexia, vomiting, prostration, high tempera ture, feeble pulse. () Malignant edema.--A spreading Inflammation of loose connective tissue accompanied by sloughing and gangrene. Constitutional symptoms those of pyemia. Anthrax (Internal): High fever, pains In head and back, vomiting, constipation, pain and tender ness in the abdomen, rapid, feeble pulse, palpable spleen, dyspnea, cyanosis.

Radiant Energy 1. X-rays, Radium, and Other Radioactive Substances (radiothorium, mesothorium, etc.) The increasing use of X-rays and of radium in the detection and treatment of disease and the more extended use of X-rays in indus try as an aid in detecting hidden defects in metals have greatly added to their importance as potential sources of occupational dis ease. Recently, radioactive substances (radium, radiothorium, mesothorium) have been added to the list of occupational hazards found in manufacturing industries following upon the discovery that these substances were responsible for the serious impairment and death of several young women who had been employed in the painting of luminous watch dials with radioactive paint. The hazard is now known to be present also in several other industries. Exposure to X-rays and emanations from radium and other radio active substances may produce serious burns and cancer, while the blood and blood-forming organs are profoundly affected. Anemia and leukopenia are frequently associated with exposure to radiations. Much has been learned concerning adequate measures for the pro tection of workers exposed to X-rays and radioactive substances since the early days of their discovery, when many pioneers in medi cal treatment with these new agencies, suffered severe mutilating disabilities because of their unmitigated exposure. Protective meas ures today have been worked out in considerable detail for the variety of conditions met with. See for example, The Journal of the American Medical Association, April 27, 1929, pages 1428-1430, and the Monthly Labor Review for June 1929, pages 22-24. Also, the brochure entitled "Protective Measures Against Dangers Resulting from the Use of Radium, Roentgen, and Ultra-Violet Rays ", pub lished by the League of Nations Health Organization, August 1931. 24 OCCUPATION HAZARDS AND DIAGNOSTIC SIGNS G.

Ultraviolet and Infrared Rays Ultraviolet and infrared rays are an industrial hazard in a num ber of occupations, chiefly -welding and cutting. Although we can not see ultraviolet and infrared rays, they are very active and powerful and are usually coexistent with excessive radiance. Ultraviolet rays are chemical in their action, and cause intense irritation of the eyes and bums of the skin, similar to sunburn. Snow blindness, desert blindness, and the " eye flashes " of welders are one and the same condition, all due to the uction of ultraviolet rays upon the eye; their effects can be very painful and cause dis ability for several days, though usually they do not cause permanent damage. Infrared rays act upon the eyes simply as heat, but may cause permanent damage. There is little definite evidence that welding may cause cataract, similar to glassblower's cataract, but it is prob able that prolonged exposure to infrared rays may cause haziness of the cornea (part of eyeball). The injurious effects resulting from excessive light due to defective illumination are not considerednere, but treated as a separate hazard. See Hazard D. Goggles, helmets, shields, and masks, equipped with colored lenses especially designed to exclude the kinas ana intensities of rays met with, afford protection to the eye. Booths should be provided for welders working indoors to protect others working nearby. Clothing which covers the body completely protects the skin from irritation caused by the rays. ` - 2.

Everyone is familiar with the muscular strain experienced in performing for the first time some exercise, such as rowing, long walking, etc. Men newly introduced into a process requiring sucn repeated action are affected similarly but often much more severely, so as to disable them temporarily for the particular job. After long-continued exposure the muscles involved do not function when called upon to perform the accustomed task, although their function is unimpaired for other activities. The injury does not stop with muscular strain but may even cause inflammation of the surrounding sheaths or paralysis of the parts concerned. Where continuous pressure or shock is the cause, pads or cushions are often beneficial. Workers who have to grasp tools tightly would do well frequently to change their method of holding the instrument, if this is possible. Occasional rest periods will do much toward the prevention of muscular pains-and cramps. H.

Poisons The continued introduction of new processes making use of new poisonous substances and the increasing use in industry of other substances well known to be injurious to health make this section of more and more importance. During comparatively recent years the highly poisonous chemicals, tetraethyl lead and radio-active paints, have been introduced into manufacturing processes and have been productive of serious poisoning. A group of refrigerants (methyl bromide, methyl chloride, etc.) have found widespread use in the manufacture of refrigerators and have proved injurious to the health of workmen. Phosphorus, tetrachlorethane, and certain other chemi cals, on the other hand, have decreased in importance. Industrial goisoning caused by these substances is comparatively rare today. ince we cannot foretell, however, when a new use will be found m industry for a poisonous substance, the inclusion of these chemicals in our list has been thought desirable. The revised List of Industrial Poisons, compiled by Sommerfeld and Fischer for the International Association ror Labor Legislation, has formed the basis for the data presented in this section.1 The material in that list has been revised and brought up to date. A number of poisons have been added, and the occupations exposed are given for each poison. The symptoms cited are those which are reported in the best works available. In order to avoid swelling the list of poisons to unwarranted proportions, substances, the effects of which are similar, have been grouped. Thus all nitro compounds of benzol and its homologues have been included under one heading* and the same procedure has been followed with amino Compounds. The next section (p. 50) is devoted to the substances occurring in industry which produce typical occupational dermatoses. Because of the very large number oi substances in the latter class it has not been possible to treat them as fully as the other poisons. To prevent industrial poisoning the following precautions should be taken: Workers must be instructed aa to the toxicity of the substance handled. Frequent medical examinations of workers must be made to detect early symptoms of disease. Before new substances are employed in industrial processes their toxicity should be determined. Personal cleanliness must be maintained, and proper washroom facilities, therefore, should be provided. Men should not be allowed to eat in workrooms where poisonous substances are handled. Work clothes should receive special attention and should be removed at the end of the. day's work. The use of gloves and boots is often necessary. Mechanical devices for confining the poisons are of prime impor tance. Reference should be made m this connection to the preventive measures discussed under " Dust." Fumes and gases should be taken care of by proper ventilation, the use of exhaust systems, fans, and blowers. Men who work in an atmosphere polluted by poisonous fumes and gases should always wear gas masks properly suited for the obtaining conditions. *B D.S. Buraaa of Labor Statlatlca BuL No. ICO.

According to the United States Bureau of Mines, animal experimentation shows unsteadiness and motor ataxia, incomplete and finally complete narcosis. Men exposed to 2J percent for approximately 3 minutes soon began to feel dizzy and disoriented as to space and size of surrounding objects and complained of a burning sensation In the soles of the feet. They Immediately recovered on leaving the chamber, axid complained only of a slight headache which lasted about 30 minutes. 94. Zinc. See Brass y Section III.--Dermatoses Skin affections resulting from exposure to the hazards discussed in the foregoing section have been recorded with the symptoms, conditions, or diseases to be looked for in men employed in occupations where such hazards are present. Because the dermatoses form So large a proportion of all disabling occupational diseases, the more important occupations exposed to agencies producing skin affections have been listed separately. A complete enumeration of such occupations would be impracticable. Almost any foreign sub-tance can become a skin irritant if it is in continuous contact with the skin. Thus, soap and water, which ordinarily do not irritate the skin, may cause severe dermatitis in laundresses. Under the derma toses are included the effects on the skin of such causative agencies as poisonous and irritating chemicals, heat and cold, dust, radiant energy, friction, plants and woods, proteins, and vegetable and animal parasites. Occupational dermatoses are frequently distinguished by their grouping, situation, mode of appearance, spread, and evolution. They crop up in series, retaining their initial type throughout, unless they are secondarily infected. They are most often local, except when they are a differentiating sign of the toxemias. The onset and development are usually sudden. The inflammation is sharply outlined. Exudation is excessive, and there is a deep-seated edema. The eruption usually predominates on the right side. Skin affec tions caused by different external irritants often, however, may show the same clinical picture. A number of occupational skin eruptions have no specific lesions or special pathology, which makes their differential diagnosis very difficult. For these reasons, the symptoms for each irritating substance have not been listed as has been done for the other hazards. The excellent work of Dr. R. Prosser White entitled " The Derma- tergoses, or Occupational Affections of the Skin ", admirably covers the entire subject of causative agencies and differential diagnosis. It should be consulted by anyone who has a need for an extensive treatment of the subject. Tne data presented in this section are based largely on Dr. White's compilation. The following is a list of the more common occupations exposed to agencies causing dermatoses. It is a partial list onlv. Reference should also be made to the specific hazards listed for the occupation under consideration in section I. 60 ' ^ * t ' : ' / DERMATOSES Occupations Exposed to Specified Skin Irritants 51 Occupation exposed Skin irritants Acetylene makers................ ....................
