Free silicon dioxide (usually quartz), in particles less than 10 microns in greatest diameter. 2. Excessive concentration. 3. Long period of exposure. Particular emphasis should be given to these limiting factors: F irs t "free silin dioxide, less than 10 microns in greatest diameter." This means exactly what it ivs--not calcium carbonates, not iron oxides, not silicates, not even silicon carbide ahich is carborundum) but free silicon dioxide. It seems probable that no little 'i fusion has arisen in the minds of plant superintendents and engineers of the timenored practice by industrial chemists of reporting an analysis in terms of the \ides of the components. For example, a typical reported analysis of Portland cement will show a total silica content of about twenty per cent Actually, all of this silica is combined in the form of entirely harmless calcium silicates, and it has Seen conclusively demonstrated that It is utterly impossible to acquire silicosis from exposure to cement d u st It should be mentioned that quarts is not the only form ni free silica, though it is apparently the most dangerous and certainly the most common form. The various amorphous forms of the compound, such as flint tripoli .md chert, may also produce the silicotic reaction in the lung, but they are known to be less severe in their effect The limiting size of ten microns is also of importance. Particles larger than this do not reach the lungs. Furthermore, the percentage of quartz in a given ma terial will vary greatly with the particle size. A petrographic examination of shale at Saranac Laboratory under Dr. L. U. Gardner's direction, recently revealed 20 per cent quartz. In a special fraction containing only large particles, 40 to 50 per cent quartz was found. Dr. Gardner writes, "this is obviously due to the fact that quartz is so hard it does not fracture into fine particles." It must, therefore, be emphasized that con clusions as to the hazard existent in a dusty operation cannot be based with confi dence on an analysts of the parent rock. Only an analysis of the dust in the breath ing zone of the operator will give an accurate picture of conditions. The second limiting factor is concentration. The exact amount of air-beme quartz that constitutes a dangerous concentration in any particular industry is not easily determined, nor is there as yet any substantial agreement as to what limits of quartz content should be observed. D r. A. J. Lanza, Assistant Medical Director of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, an outstanding authority on the silicosis problem, gave an excellent sum mary of what needs to be known about dust concentra tion in his paper presented be fore The American Institute of Mining and Metallurgical Engineers, in February, 1937. H e said: limits of dustiness for all dusty uidustri" or- pro cesses' " th e '^ ria tio o both in the dust content and in external modifying conditions is so extrem e In mining, however, working conditions are -fairly-constant and it would 3>e extremely valuable to -th e Indnatry-if -the -various '-mmin* eomoanies that face -t'-silica A ia r d would establish,: with the help of the proper governmental authorities, tentative standards practicable and applicable for their own mines. Some have done so and.it is a long step in the right direction.* ....... .................- This recommendation might well be extended to other industries. The National Silicosis Conference tentatively established a maximum of five million particles per cubic foot as a safe -quartz concentration in the case of highly siliceous dusts. This standard is subject to modification as more data are developed by different industries." **The National Silicosis^ Conference report also-says, " It is recommended that clinical and engineering studies "be. carried 'fit u rapidly'.as pos- ll I If t h II.ililf, irII j'f `t- -U h Ir l*T! ii . r jf J4 l :f nkdMttrafflTi ri<` i m r n i r.Tmwaaari  443344 sible to establish the necessary scientific data upon which we may base practical and effective regulatory standards." The report then states that knowledge of three factors is necessary for establishing safe concentration of atmospheric dust: 1. The relative number and size of the free silica and the other particles sas* pended at breathing levels in the different parts of the industrial atmosphere. 2. The proportion of the workmen's time actually spent in the various dust ' concentrations. . 3. The effects of exposure to environment, as revealed by the occupational and medical histories of old employees, by physical examination and by the roentgenologi cal appearances of their lungs. * > Through a knowledge of these three factors, any industry can discover what, if any, hazard it has and what preventive measures are needed. For the past two years, under the direction of Or. Leroy U. Gardner of the Saranac Laboratory for the Study of Tuberculosis, the cement industry has been making a careful estimate of the health of its workers, according to the plan just outlined. Many of the state ments in this paper regarding the effect of mixed or non-siliceous dusts have been based on the findings of these studies. One of the outsrinding conclusions a student of these researches in the cement industry will reach is that concentrations of free silica appreciably higher thaw the maximum specified by the Silicosis Conference are safe if the silica constitutes a moderate proportion of the total d u st Apparently a mixture of silica with other minerals, if the other minerals are predominant, tends to inhibit the effect of the silica m the lung. It is not yet possible to recommend, without reservation, the dilu tion of silica with other dusts as a protective measure. It is far better to remove the dust from the atmosphere. Nevertheless, it is significant that in the Portland cement industry, w here.a high concentration of raw material dust containing up to 10 per cent of free silica is sometimes found, the X-rays and physical examinations reveal no pathological lung condition attributable to d o st Although no agreement has been reached u to the maximum safe concentration of free silica in the presence of harmless dusts, agreement as to good housekeeping limits is practically unanimous. Industries with a dusty process, even though dusts are harmless, should endeavor to reach a concentration in the neighborhood of 100 million particles per cubic foot of air in the breathing zone of the workers, in the interests of com fort and increased efficiency. The third factor in the development of silicosis is duration of exposure. The problem of exposure resolves itself into two parts. First, what proportion of the workers' time is actually spent in the dusty atmosphere? It is evident that a hazard ous dust will not affect a man unless he is actually exposed to it and will not have ~~*a -grear a a effect ~u n a man who is exposed to it ooe hour rinuously' . Tlie-United S tates Public H ealth Service has developed a formula for calculating the actual exposu re in terms, o f -particle hours. They recommend/in Bulletin 217, TEw Determination and Control of Industrial Dust," that the partida concentration, 5 f any . area be -multiplied by the number of hours an employee -works in that-area l th at tfris_ product be calculated for each hour of the working day and tin t the total of these . products be divided by the number of working hours to give the equivalent of con tinuous exposure during the day. For example, a man may spend two hours a day in a .concentration of 200 mil lion particles per cubic foot: three hours m a concentration of 10 million particles: one end three-quarter hours in a concentration of 40 million particles and 13 minutes . in concentration L200 million ^articles.

If you find, from a study of concentration and silica content, that in two or three areas in your plant atmospheric dust exceeds safe limits, you will make an analysis of the exposure by the P. H. S. method and attack first that point where employee exposure is the greatest. How long does it take silicosis to develop? The answer to such a question must be equivocal Much depends on the physical condition of the worker. A man whose respiratory passages have been damaged so that dust is not readily excluded by the usual protective mechanism, may contract silicosis more readily than a man with normal nasal and bronchial passages. Also a man whose lungs have been damaged by pneumonia or tuberculosis may develop silicosis more quickly. We are probably all familiar with the reverse of th is; L e , that the man with silicosis has much less resistance against tuberculosis than a man with unaffected lungs. This fact, inci dentally, suggests one of the outstanding differences between the action of silica and other dusts. Medical authorities state that not only does the silicotic lesion in tfae lung resemble the lesion in tuberculosis, the silica actually stimulates the activity of tuberculosis and, at the same time, conceals its symptoms until it is far advanced. The seriousness of such a condition may readily be imagined. A tubercular with significant quantities of silica in his lungs may be rapidly getting worse, yet diag nostic symptoms are often lacking. Frequently only a careful X-ray examination can reveal the presence of tuberculosis in a silicotic. Mr. P. N. Bushaell, speaking before the Metals Sections of this Congress last year, emphasized the fact that the real danger from silicosis is not silicosis at all, but tuberculosis. F irst or even second degree silicosis, uncomplicated by tuberculosis, usually causes relatively slight disability, seldom pronounced enough to interfere with working capacity. No worker should be deprived of an opportunity to cam a living at his regular job just because his X*ray shows some signs of noduiation. The job should be cleaned up by approved engi n i n g mttwvU nf course, but discharge of workers who are perfectly capable, sim-p*ly-bec--au--se- '-of*~a~non*symptomatic_r--endition--which-hf--y-s-t-e-r-ical npininn has mi gni-Z fied out of all proportion, is certainly not.the solution of the problem.

All of determined zed. Much 437 of the dust nuisance can be eliminated by systematic routine and thorough elean*up programs. The advantages are obvious. The plant is much better looking and, in addition, the atmospheric dust is reduced. Medical control is equally important. The only sure way to know that a hazard does not exist is the careful observation of the workers over a period of years. Pre employment examinations are, of course, also important for proper placement of applicants. In this paper we have presented some of the salient features of the silicosis problem. We have, first of all, emphasized that only two pneumoconioses are actual diseases, silicosis and asbestosis. We have pointed out that there are three causative factors of silicosis and all three must be present simultaneously to produce the disease. - 1. Uncombined silica in small particles, of which the most dangerous is prob ably quartz. 2. Sufficiently intense concentrations of the dust to be hazardous. This con centration is set at five million particles (light field count) of quartz less than ten microns in greatest diameter, if the quartz constitutes a high percentage of the material. Studies in the cement industry have demonstrated that, in many cases, appreciably higher concentrations of quartz can be tolerated when inert dusts, as day or limestone, are intermixed with the silica. 3. Exposure by the employees over a sufficiently long period to high concen trations of silica of the necessary fineness. The influence of silica on tuberculosis is strong, whereas inert dusts have no effect on this disease. Serious disability from silicosis, especially in the first two stages, usually results from infection, rather than from the uncomplicated disease, li the working environment is adequately dean, a silicotic need not be denied work as tong as he is free from infection and is capable of doing his job. Methods of control of the disease indude pre-employment and periodic medical examinations, removal of dust at point of origin, emphasis on good housekeeping and the use of respiratory protective equipment where removal of dust from the atmosphere is not possible. It should be emphasized th.it control, especially engineering control, of the sili cosis hazard is the phase of the problem that is of greatest importance to those of uswho are interested in the practical methods oferadicating the disease. Dr. A. R. Riddell of the Ontario Department of Health, whose work in the gold fields of O ntario has won for him an international reputation, put the problem squarely up to the engineers when he said: "Silicosis is an occupational disease de clining in importance. Its prevention is not a medical problem. As it occurs ex clusively through the inhalation of dust containing silica, its prevention depends on . th Tirfiriafigg--a f ~duns lB diiam ally tirouucwfc~ T his is a prubtem for the industriat- engineer.

Now, hand tools, there ,rc quite a number of injuries come from hand tools, and I am giaa to hear Mr. Rutherford suggest that proper inspection of tools. I have gone into different plants, and with the hand tools, even the hammer, the hatchet was loose on the handle, men would take it; I have seen the hatchet fly right off when they were trying to drive a nail; I have seen it move sufficiently when they were driving a nail and 'old it with their hand, the hammer would hit the wrong nail, consequently it was .:i injured linger. I think one of the best suggestions that you made is to see that our hand tools are inspected. I have seen crow bars set out in the winter, full of frost, picked up by a man. and to my surprise one day I saw a man, he wanted to take his gloves off, change his gloves, he pot the small bar right in his mouth, you know what happened, his tongue was stuck on the bar. he had to wait until it thawed free. I saw another man putting his bar up to his mouth, just that way, moved his cigarette or cigar, whatever it was, and the bar touched; infection set m there, that man was laid up for six weeks just because of an infection that came on his upper lip because of the contact with the frosted steel bar. So if the tools ere put in the proper place, kept in the right condition, properly inspected, I think you would eliminate many injuries. Using the goggles, naturally would eliminate the eye trouble, that is at least ninety per cent of it, and I think there should be a rigid enforcement of the proper use of goggles. Cbaikman W m r a : I think Mr. Lewis has very ably answered your question, but I would like to call on Mr. Weber to give you a little more detailed answer with regard to the frequency of that same accident. Mr. Weber, what has been your experience ? M i. F. W. W o n (Standard Lime k Stone Gx, Woodville, O h io ): W e have had quite a few accidents, in fact we had our last one about seven years ago, which was a lost eye, and since that we gradually got the men to wear goggles, and of course we tried to make them wear them at first, and we found out during the pro gram that all goggles didn't fit everybody alike, but we finally got the right kind of goggles, and I think we have about four kinds that we use, and they seem to work out very satisfactorily. Some of these goggles are just ordinary large pairs of rim glasses with a shatter-proof glass in it, where they are using the lime, and I don't think we have had any trouble of anybody getting lime in his eye where they wear them. O f course they wouldn't be much good out doors where the wind was blowing a lot, but I must say we have eliminated our eye accidents. Everybody has to wear goggles, even myself, when I get m a bad place I have got to put them on. I have a pair to fit over these glasses, although I wear them lots of places where - g len ee >* pen n isiihU.
