Surprisingly the same sort of nasal sinus cancers have turned up in men working on a wholly different job making isopropyl oil Not long ago during Dr. Smith's visit to a shale plant which processes gasoline paraffin diesel oil and other products he examined employees working in the paraffin process Several had dull red brownish or purple splotches on their forearms One man who had had two cancers removed from his arm showed four horns on his hands and a suspiciously firm mound on the skin at his wrist Many red conical paraffin warts were on his legs and arms Evidently if the skin trouble among these workers was allowed to become chronic cancer broke out To industrial leaders the whole problem of causing hazards on the job is a big headache Obviously no one would want to expose people carelessly to chemicals they honestly thought would induce cancer The problem is that management's thinking is often about 100 years behind the times It took a long while for people to realize that a few bacteria can enter the body multiply and produce disease Today we're in the same position in regard to the more subtle delayed carcinogens Many persons are not only apathetic about it but reluctant to believe chemical mole- cules can enter the body stimulate a body cell to multiply and that cell and its descendants go on multiplying ally produce a mass of cells that we call cancer But that is what happens Very few industries have made studies of carcinogens in their manufacturing processes and published the results In one California plant a serious lung disease was known to exist for 20 years No effective control measures were adopted until the International Chemical January 1962 SELLS ARTICLE FOR 300 Som . renee ~# first writing My attempt at for a national magazine was an article in answer to one Ame .that appeared in LOOK My response was ( 5 pera Ne dim, chosen the best and I received 300 for Glenn Dunlap Painesville Ohio it How Do You Know YOU Can't WRITE for PROFIT HA you least bit ever tried of training Have you ever attempted the under competent guidance Or have you been sitting back waiting for the day to come when you will awaken to the discovery " am a writer If the latter is the course you have chosen you probably never will write Lawyers must be law clerks Doctors must be internes Above all writers must write Earn by Writing in Sparetime That is why the Newspaper Institute of America bases its instruction on the Copy Desk Method has produced more successful writers than a training any other that It keeps you writing at home on real assignments Your profes- writing is individually corrected and criticized by sional editors Under this expert guidance many students quickly begin to sell their writings often with their earliest assignments Most beginnings are made with 50 100 even more for material earnings of 10 that takes little 25 time to stories advertising copy articles on business current events sports hobbies travel local church and club activities things that can easily be turned out in leisure moments Now ...

Marshall is available wherever paperback books are sold s1173 Workers Union called a strike to obtain safe working conditions protect their lives The behind attitude of in- dustrial management is illustrated by the experience of a state health official who recently visited a small asphalt plant which had a known carcinogen hazard You ought to improve your ventilat- ing system and set up other safeguards for your workers the official urged the owner of the plant ; That's nonsense was the reply I've been working with asphalt for twenty- two years and no one is going to tell me it's dangerous Later the official reported that he could clearly see half a dozen wart growths on the owner's face and | hands The warts were the kind that are often cancerous And growing just above the owner's cheek bone was an actual cancer the size of a dime These tumors had developed so slowly and insidiously that the man had paid no attention to them How can your job be made safer if you're in one of the vulnerable indus- tries Fortunately the outlook for re- ducing cancer in industry is more hopeful than it is for the general public because exposure to specific carcinogens can be controlled These are some of the important ways of preventing occupa- tional cancer of their men contracting asbestosis a lung disease associated with cancer One oil company tested hundreds of petroleum derivatives on thousands of mice The experiment disclosed which de- rivatives would cause cancer and which supplied did not With the information by the mice the company swung into action to protect men from products which showed a cancer risk ; Pipes carrying carcinogenic products were painted a distinctive color Re- fineries were rebuilt to concentrate the dangerous lines in one area Men work- ing there were instructed in the risk Protective clothing and washing facilities were provided and foremen saw to it that the men used these facilities Through further tests on mice products distributed to consumers were carefully checked for safety This program is unique in the annals of industrial medicine Most of the processes material tested came from new No one knew whether or not they would bring about cancer in humans The mice provided information to head off occupational cancer before it happened Such foresight is rare Many companies are doing little or nothing about the industry hidden menace Why should drag its feet The answer is that protective measures can be expensive 1. Substitute where possible a safe substance or process for a harmful one 2. Introduce a production system to prevent escape of noxious dusts fumes vapors and gases into the air Good ex- haust ventilation is essential wherever such hazards exist Sometimes a dry method of releasing dust can be changed to a wet technique that creates no dust ~ 3. If carcinogens can't be eliminated the time and degree of exposure to them should be reduced as much as possible . 4. Protective clothing goggles gloves and respirators should be used by workers in jeopardy It's wise to have separate lockers for work and street clothes Prefer- ably work clothes should be changed daily Another good safeguard shower at the end of the day is to 5. Workers should be carefully in- structed to avoid unnecessary contact with the carcinogens they handle 6. Periodic medical examinations of workers must be made to detect early signs of cancer 7. All industrial plants using cancerinducing materials should be licensed by the state or federal government and regular inspections made of plant con- trol methods It's good to know that a number of big companies are alive to the perils and have taken steps to shield their workers Monsanto Chemical Company stopped making a new chemical after it was proved to cause bladder cancers in dogs Union Carbide and Carbon Company made technical changes to cut out hazards leading to cancer in the sinuses of men working on production of isopropyl alcohol The Mutual Chemical Company built new plants to reduce dangers to chromate workers Several asbestos manu- facturers have improved their processes to cut down dust and decrease the chances New carcinogens are being discovered . from time to time especially in radio- active materials Important industries using inducing agents are ex- panding plants and processors of various forms of hydrocarbons metals and solvents Procedures involving new types of exposure are constantly being developed | Thus occupational cancer has become one of the ominous products of the technological world in which we work. If cancer arose suddenly after exposure to one or another chemical it would be easy to spot the relationship But it comes on very very slowly Ten or 20 years can go by between the first exposure and the eventual appearance of cancer Mean- . time a man may have handled hundreds of different chemicals changed his job within his industry or gone on to another industry Tracking down chemical causes of cancer is a tough job but with the booming expansion of chemical industries it is a job that must be done It will need the close teamwork of man- agement labor government and cancer " researchers . When I discussed this with Bill Smith he was confident it can be done Tars oils metals and many other substances that can cause cancer are necessary and important in industry he said Learning to handle them safely is not really different from learning to handle acids explosives or other danger- ous but necessary chemicals Scientists like Dr. Smith and Dr. Hueper even though they are attacked as trouble makers must be permitted to explore the mysteries of carcinogens without hindrance and to reveal their- findings Only then can you be safe on your job from the ravages of cancer # CAVALIER Magazine
