% v 4-10-1964 - Mimeographed copy of paper presented at Am. Battery .. Association Meeting sent to Mr. Sandler, with brief note. VR January 16, 1964 Mr. S. Sandler The Valsan Company, Incorporated 38 West 32nd Street New York 1, New York (10001) Attention: Miss V. Santucci Dear Miss Santucci: \ r o '<J ' s~ Please eeteph my thanks for the return of my copy of the test of a Chapter published some time ago in a textbook. This was the only one of the things I sent Mr. Sandler which I wished him to return to me. I now $end some publications which will, I trust, be useful to your people. The thickest and widest of these is a reprint of a series of lectures which I gave in London in 1960. They were directed to physicians, and they represent an attempt to cover the high points &f. about thirty years of investigative work in this Laboratory. They Will be "hard going" for a layman but the language is simple and understandable. I should hope this would come into the hands of your Company's medical advisors. The grpen booklet is being revised, and is not up-to-date in a number of respects. It is, I believe, however, the best clinical description of industrial lead poisoning that is available, and much of the other information is sound. I have indicated the parts that are, in some degree, obsolete. The tan booklet on Methods will be useful only to chemists and welltrained technical people, but I send it along just in case it may find its way into appropriate hands. (The two booklets were published, as may be noted, by the American Public Health Association. The first was prepared by a Committee of which I was Chairman, and the second was prepared by Mr. Cholak of our Staff for a Technical Committee of A.P.H.A. We have purchased certain supplies of both booklets so as to be able to aid in their distribution and usefulness, since we had the primary responsibility for the information contained in them.) There is a paper in press which would be useful to your people, I believe, whether or not the advice'contained in it would be acceptable. I shall try to remember to send a copy of it after it has been publishSd (and reprinted). There is one other publication which would be of greater value to your people than any of these, if it were studied and followed. I refer here to a & 0002354 Mr. S . Sandler - Attention: Miss V. Santucci - (2) - January 16, 1964 f' reference work, a set of three volumes, two of which have been published. The third volume is soon to appear. There is a chapter on "industrial Lead Poisoning" which I wrote for the purpose of presenting clearly the principles and procedures by which the control of exposure to lead, by technical means, can and should be achieved in industry. Little is said about strictly medical (diagnostic) matters, since this work is primarily directed to chemists and engineers and medical practitioners of industrial hygiene^ but it shows how one can be sure of the safety and health of men who are working under properly controlled conditions in industry. Thei work is "industrial Hygiene and Toxicology," Second Edition (edited by Davicl Fassett and Don D. Irish), Volumes I, II, and III, Interscience Publishers, Incorporated (a division of John Wiley and Son), New York. The chaper to which I refer above is Chapter XXVI beginning on page 941 of Volume II. It may be possible to purchase this one volume, but I doubt it. The set is expensive, but is packed with sound information and is the test work of its kind available. Hie work can be found, however, in almost any reasonably comprehensive medical library.
