FILE NAME: Ingersoll Rand (IRD) DATE: 1948 Nov 13 DOC#: IRD011 DOCUMENT DESCRIPTION: Business Week with Advertisement \ RESEARCH SURVEYING the field: Dr. Leonard Greenburg, New York State Dept, of Labor, and Dr. May R. Mayers, chairman, Occupational Cancer Committee, join up with . . . Industry Against Cancer New group, representing industry and medical and govern ment authorities, maps fight on country's No. 2 killer. First step; a survey that will help determine industrial danger spots. Science and industry are joining forces to take on a powerful antagonist: occupational cancer. The size of the job can be gaged by the fact that cancer now rates as the second biggest killer in this country. This week, the growing hazards of oc cupational cancer were the theme of a paper by cancer authority Dr. \V. C. Hueper, of the National Cancer Insti tute. The occasion was a meeting of the American Public Health Assn, in Bos ton. Dr. Hueper's point: The more mod ern industry develops, the more vital is a study of potential industrial clanger spots. Starter--Just such a study is the goal of New York State's brand-new Occu pational Cancer Committee, an unoffi cial agency. Members have been work ing on a two-vear program. They have a special fund from National Cancer Institute of the U. S. Public Health Service of $32,694 a year to go on. Ohio and New Jersey are getting similar grants. Industry has representatives on the committee--Dr. G. H. Gchrmann, for Manufacturing Chemists Assn.: and Dr. Arthur E. Hoag, for American Petro leum Institute. Other members include representatives from the U. S. Public Health Service, from New York State Depts. of Labor and Plealth, as well as from the medical and scientific centers. Chairman of the new group is Dr. May R. Mavers, chief, Medical Unit, Div. of Industrial Hygiene, N. Y. State Dept, of Health. The committee knows very well that its job will be tough. For one thing, no body really knows how big the problem is. As Dr. John R. Heller, Jr., director of the National Cancer Institute, reported last week to the American Cancer So ciety, there are no figures to show how many people are dvmg today from en vironmental or industrial cancer. No one know s, e\en, how many people are exposed to it, or wrhere the precise danger lies. Program--But with this nebulous start, the committee has lined up its im mediate plans: (1) A pilot study at the Rosw'ell Park Memorial Hospital, Buffalo. This, the first large-scale survey of its kind, will cover 3,000 male cancer patients; 1,000 male non-cancer patients will serve as a control. (2) The distribution of a leaflet on "Occupational Cancer" to hospitals, B IKlM crr GET "DAYS-SOONER" DELIVERY AT L O W C O S T by routing all your eastbound freight via "Save time an d money the dependable P * lmE way!** Fastest-by-land betw een San Fran cisco or Los A n geles and C hicago or St. L o u is...w ith com parable sp eed to all interm ediate a n d p o in ts beyond P-I-E.

The pilot survey is out to track down what chemicals or other occupational factors may be considered among the possible causes of cancer. Dr. Mayers re ports that industrial chemicals can, in general, be used with perfect safety if adequate control measures are instituted. But in order to get the best control measures, you first have to know what chemicals offer the threat. Specially trained personnel will take detailed occupational histories of all cancer patients who enter the Roswell Park Memorial Hospital. The inter viewer will try to pin down just what the patient's occupational exposure was; what chemical substances he came in contact with, what other environmental factors were present in the workroom. Since cancer will usually develop only after a great many years of exposure-- and even many years after exposure-- PORTLAND CEMENT now helps the Iron Horse run sm oother TR A IN PA SSEN G ER S are enjoying new standards of comfort because of portland cement "grout," a mixture of portland cement, sand and water, which, when pumped into soft spots and water pockets under tracks, hardens and stabilizes the roadbed. More than 45 major railroads are now pressure grouting with portland cement to obtain a smoother riding track and to reduce maintenance and operating costs. This is another example of the thousand ways that portland cement and concrete serve and save. Concrete is the favored material for streets and highways because it is smooth-riding and lasts longer--at lower cost to taxpayers. Concrete also provides strength, beauty, firesafety and lowannual-cost service for school buildings, hospitals, apartments, factories and municipal structures. Concrete is a wise investment for homes and farm buildings because it is firesafe, stormproof, ratproof, decay-proof, termiteproof, easy to heat, inexpensive to maintain. Yes, you can depend on concrete for better service and better living--and be money ahead in the long run too. PORTLAND CEMENT ASSOCIATION 33 W. Grand Ave., Chicago 10, 111. A national organization to improve and extend the uses of portland cement and concrete . . . through scientific research and engineering field work CANCER AUTHORITY: Di. W. C. Hueper has ideas on how to tackle the prob lem of occupational cancer tins means tracing the patient's history all the wav back to his first job. Sleuthing--If a clue--however elusiveturns up at any point, a chemist will be called in. His job will be to unearth any positive proofs that a chemical suspect may have been the source of the disease. The data will be entered on punch cards. These will be used as the base for a complete statistical study to be carried out bv the Division of Cancer Control of the N. Y. State Dept, of Health, un der the direction of Dr. Paul Gerhardt. The committee is ready to follow any suspected case right into the workroom. Its investigations will include chemical analysis of materials, radiation measure ments, chemical analysis of air contam inants--dusts, gases, fumes, and the like. T hat nay, it is hoped that occupational factors that arc not non suspected of causing cancer may be brought to light. Investigation Points--Dr. Iluepcr's pa per broke down the known and sus pected cancer causing agents into: Physical Agents: These include ultra violet rays, X-rays, and other radioactive substances. Chemical Agents: Inorganic chem icals, such as arsenicals. chromates, nickel carbonyl, asbestos; organic chem icals such as aromatic compounds and amines, benzol, and the undefined com pounds responsible for the cancer-caus ing action of tar, pitch, asphalt, soot, carbon black, paraffin oil. creosote, and various crude and processed mineral oils, shale oils, and some products de rived from them. W ith this list of suspects, the med ical authorities are particularly inter ested in industries using these materials. As Dr. Heller put it: "As far as we know, the most dangerous areas are in the field of radioactive substances: the areas of hydrocarbon research and development, such as the high-temperature distillation and fractionation of petroleum; and the wide field of organic chemistry which is developing new synthetic chemicals."

It was recently developed by Dr. Kuan-Han Sun, Chinese-born phvsicist at the W estinghouse Research Laboratories. Neutrons arc difficult to detect because they carry no electrical charge. But neutrons will split uranium atoms. So the detector in cludes a film of uranium 235. A photo sensitive plate responds to the radiation from the atomic fission b. emitting electrons which are multiplied, collected, and counted.
