The Foundation has long been an advocate of the concept that scientific endeavors and technical knowledge must go hand in hand with wise industrial ad ministration in developing new materials and processes and raising the standards of health and welfare of workers and consumers alike. The accelerated pace of scientific progress has increased the need for greater emphasis on the environ mental health problems associated with new developments. The Foundation has in the past, and is continuing to direct its efforts toward assisting its member com panies to meet this new challenge. It is doing this through an organized and co ordinated program of laboratory research, field investigations, training courses, seminars, and informational services. However, these plans and programs are only useful if they reach the individuals of the member companies who can really put them into practical appli cation. Various phases of these problems may be of interest to administrative, community relations, medical, industrial hygiene, safety, research, and engineer ing personnel. Your cooperation is solicited in helping the Foundation to reach those individuals'or groups who have a need for such services. Sincerely yours, H. H. Schrenk, Ph. D.

MINUTES MEETING OF MEMBERS Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania October 26, 19t>l The Annual Meeting of the Members of the Industrial Hygiene Foundation of America, Inc., was held at Mellon Institute, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on October 26, 1961, at 6:45 a.m., pursuant to notice. Dr. William P. Yant, Chairman of the Board of Trustees, presided. Dr. Yarn commented on the excellent relations which the Foundation has had with the Mellon Institute since its beginning, first with Dr. Weidlein as President and then with General Ridgway. He then introduced Dr. Paul C. Cross who became President and Chief Executive Officer of Mellon Institute in September of this year. Dr. Cross welcomed the guests and wished them success. He stated that the Institute is pleased to have the- Foundation hold its meetings here each year and he extended an invitation that the meetings continue to be held here every year. Mr. Theodore C. Waters, who had been previously appointed by the Chairman to examine the proxies, reported that there were 260 companies represented by proxies, that were in proper form and fully executed. On motion made and seconded, the proxies were approved. The member companies represented by proxy or in person constituted a quorum. A list of the member companies represented by proxies and a copy of the notice of the meeting and proxy sent to all members of the Corporation are on file in the Minute Book. The Chairman called on Mr. E. K. DaviBon, Secretary, to read the minutes of the last Annual Meeting. The minutes were read and on motion duly made and seconded were approved. The Chairman stated that the Minute Book was available and open at the meeting for inspection by members. The Chairman then called upon Dr. H. H. Schrenk to submit the report of the Treasurer. Dr. Schrenk reported that the Foundation is operating in the black, and that it is estimated that the year 1961 will be completed with a modest excess of income over expenditures. 1. 1 Accordingly, at the beginning of the year 1962, the Foundation will have cash and savings account in the amount of about $81, 000.00. Based on a conservative estimate of income for 1962, a total budget of $153,400.00 was suggested. Following presentation of this report, it was moved, seconded, and passed that the Treasurer's Report be accepted. Dr. K. W. Smith moved that a contract for 1962 between Mellon Institute and the Foundation in the sum of $150, 000. 00, covering the major cost of operation of the Foundation during the year 1962., be approved. This motion was seconded by Mr. Davison, and unanimously approved. The Chairman reported that he had received the resignation of the following mem bers of the Board of Trustees during the year 1961. Professor Philip Drinker Harvard University Mr. Robert B. Parker American Brake Shoe Company Mr. M. W. Thompson The Hall China Company The Chairman called on Mr. William G. Hazard, a member of the Nominating Committee, to report on this Committee's recommendations pertaining to: (1) The number of members of the Board for the year 1962, and (2) A slate of nominations for members of the Board to serve during the year 1962. Mr. Hazard moved that the number of Trustees be set at 30. This motion was seconded and passed. He then submitted the names of the following persons as nominees for election to membership on the Board of Trustees. Earle T. Andrews Pennsylvania Glass Sand Corporation Dr. Paul W. Bachman Koppers Company, Inc. Dr. Anna M. Baetjer The Johns Hopkins university Robert D. Blasier We sting house Electric Corporation Dr. Allen D. Brandt Bethlehem Steel Company M. F.

Wescott Gulf Research and Development Company Dr. William P. Yant Mine Safety Appliances Company There being no other nominations, a motion was made, seconded, and passed unanimously that the persons named in the report of the Nominating Committee be elected to serve on the Board of Trustees for the year 1962. Dr. Schrenk then read his report as Managing Director of the Foundation. A copy of this report, entitled Foundation Facts, is included in this report. The Chairman then opened the meeting for discussion. He stated that a questionnaire had been sent to members to obtain information on environmental health problems which were of major importance to them. The information obtained will serve as a guide to direct research, field studies and services to meet the problems of the Foundation's members. The Foundation had been considering a Seminar on Noise, but this was tabled pending an analysis to be made of the answers to the questionnaire. 'These answers should give us a better understanding of the areas in which our members are most interested. Considerable discussion ensued on the program of the Annual Meeting--that it probably was too technical and subjects that would encourage management to attend might be more desirable. Mr. Leo Teplow (American Iron and Steel Institute) suggested that more attention be given to the problem of rehabilitation both m the conferences and management sessions. This problem is becoming of increasing i portance as both the work population and general population become older. Mr. Waters expressed concern over the poor attendance and lack of participation on the part of the members at the Membership Meeting. He suggested more publicity and speakers of national importance to increase attendance at future meetings. 3. Dr. Paul W. Bachman (Koppers Company, Inc.) commented on a aubject that ia very important to the Foundation; namely, the eatabliahing of contacta with individuals in mem ber companiea who would have a direct intereat in the Foundation^ activitiea. Dr. Schrenk said that better liaison with some of our members ia desirable and -suggestions as to how we might better reach the persons in a company who should receive notices and other information regarding the Foundation will be welcome. Mr. S. O. Rothman (The Boeing Company) said that he is in thorough accord with the statement that was made regarding publicity. He further stated that Industrial Hygiene Foundation is one of the finest educational mediums to present to management the importance of industrial hygiene and its coordination with safety programs. There being no further business to come before this Membership Meeting, the meeting was adjourned at 9:35 a.m. E. K.

H. 5chrenk, Ph. D. , Managing Director Industrial Hygiene Foundation More and more attention is being directed to the effects of the environment on the health and well-being of man. The public is concerned about radioactive fall-out. air pollution, food additives, stream pollution and even the exotic hazards of outer space. The publicity given to any one of these areas reflects on the others. A problem of this scope and public interest inevitably brings exaggeration, misinformation and demands for regulations and con trols of hazards some of which are nebulous and ill-defined. These pressures frequently re sult in conclusions and actions which are not justified on the present state of knowledge. It is reasonable to demand that the creation of new materials for the purpose of benefiting mankind carries with it the responsibility to make certain that the usefulness is not outweighed by risks to health. Our industrial, agricultural and economic progress is dependent upon our research and development. We cannot retrogress, neither can we afford to inhibit progress by unfounded fears and apprehensions. The same scientific endeavor,technical know ledge, and wise industrial administration used in developing new materials and processes can be used to raise the standards of health and welfare of workers and consumers alike. This con cept is not new, and has been followed for many years, but we are now entering an era when greater emphasis must be placed on the health aspects than ever before. During the past year, the Foundation has directed its efforts toward assisting its member companies to meet this new challenge through laboratory research, field investigations, training courses, seminars, and informational services. Toxicological studies of the range-finding type completed on many products indicated that the oral toxicity of the majority was of a relatively low order. However, a signifies*^ num ber was found to have potential hazards owing to severe skin and eye irritation and a few from skin absorption. * Presented at 26th Annual Meeting of Industrial Hygiene Foundation, October 25-26, 1961, Pittsburgh, Pa. 7. Six major long-term projects in progress for over a year deal with fundamental and applied aspects of the carcinogenic action by intratracheal and skin application and with the pneumoconioses and related subjects. It was found that a quartz dust acting in conjunction with tuberculin on sensitized lung tissue invoked an exaggerated tissue response resembling experi mental silicotuberculosis. Similarly, dead tubercle bacilli in conjunction with quartz also caused an inflammation which resembles tuberculosilicosis. In another investigation, it was found that when pultnonary edema was superimposed on lungs which were handicapped, either by a large dust burden or atelectasis, a greater incidence of mortality occurred than when the same degree of pulmonary edema was superimposed upon normal lungs. Additional information was obtained on the basic reaction of the alveolar wall to chronic low-grade irritants, a reaction which is the initial process in a wide variety of chronic pulmonary diseases. Such fundamental information becomes more important as need to measure long-term effects of low level exposure to a multiplicity of contaminants increases. In-plant environmental studies were conducted in potteries, foundries, chemical plants, a refinery and a* limestone mine. Dusts, metal fumes, hydrogen sulfide, carbon monoxide, aldehydes, and diisocyanates were substances of major concern. These studies demonstrated an awareness on the part of management of the potential hazards associated with plant operations and the need for periodic, quantitative reevaluations to assure that control measures were being maintained in an effective manner. Engineering assistance was given to a member company in the design of a new plant to incorporate the moat effective health protection measures. An outdoor sulfur dioxide survey was conducted during the summer and winter months to provide a continuing baseline of the concentration of this gas in the vicinity of the plant. During the year, over 1200 abstracts were published in the Industrial Hygiene Digest. A list of the periodicals abstracted in the Digest was prepared and sent to our member companies. The Transactions of our 1960 Annual Meeting were published as the entire March 1961 issue of the Archives of Environmental Health. In addition, five papers were published and seven others were accepted for publication in technical journals. These papers presented data which add sig nificantly to our knowledge of the response of the lungs to chronic irritants. Technical information and advice was given by telephone and letter on a host of subjects covering all aspects of environmental health. One of our members, who had been 8. given specific information on their dust problem wrote and thanked us for this assistance and stated "Your advice and references have 'cleared the air' enabling us to face our atmospheric pollution with something more than doubt and suspicion. " A second training course for industrial hygiene engineers and chemists was con ducted in cooperation with the Occupational Health Research Training Facility of the U. S. Public Health Service. An intensive two weeks was devoted to work in the laboratory and lectures.' The response of those taking the course is evidence of the benefits to be derived from this activity and it is planned to repeat the course in 1962. A two-day seminar on the current aspects of the dust problem was conducted under the sponsorship of the National Industrial Sand Association and the Foundry Facings Manufacturers Association. This provided an oppor tunity for the members of these associations to obtain up-to-date information on the medical, engineering and legal aspects of problems associated with their operations. The Foundation provides an opportunity for representatives of industry to come together as working groups to explore and better define what they are doing and to take leader ship in planning and developing policies to anticipate and prepare for new problems which we must face in the future. The real strength of the Foundation is in the unified action of its mem bers. On behalf of the staff, 1 wish to express our deep appreciation for the helpful and encouraging support and the valuable contributions of the Board of Trustees and its Executive Committee, the Technical Committees, and the executive staff of Mellon Institute.
