Through intelligent re search we have learned how to guard against coal dust explosions. The same considera tion has not been given health hazards from coal dust in all areas. This could be due to Ibe fact ibat medical authorities arc not in unanimous agreement that the breathing of bituminous coal dust is harmful, he that as it may, the growing lists of those suffer ing (Tom silicosis among our bituminous coal mining people are reason enough for tlio<c of us having to d> wilh the health and safety of per-ons employed in our mines to study the problem and attempt to offer corrective solutions.

It was hoped th at such a study would offer seme criterio n that would enable the establishment o f s a f e limits al dust coieentraiion. T h is stu d y w as madt and a repot l MthtnilUd to the (iovernoroi the CommomveaUh. A m o n g o t h e r conchtsinus, the report contained the following: "Analysis o f the data fu r the purpose ul determining sa fe limits o f dust ex p o su re in dicaled that employment in an atmosphere containing less than 51) million dust particles per cubic foot would produce a negligible sum of cases of nnthrnco-silicusis when the fjuarU contents o f the dust w as less than 5 per cent. In the g an g w ay s where lb? silica content of the dust was ab out 13 pet cent, a safe limit appeared to be 10 to li million particles pet cubic foot. T h e limit of toleration fo r rock w o r k ers was set tenta tively at 5 to 10 million dust particles per cubic foot of air." T h e above listed allowable limits appatcully were the b a n s for th resh o ld limit val ues adopted by the Am er ican Conference ol ( ovcrutnental Industrial i lygicuists.

A greater part o f the hill for occupational disease falls on the ta x p a y e r s o f P en n sy l vania. This is due to the fact that liccafisc of the very economic conditions o f the coal in dustry, miners arc forced to change employ ment from one mine to the o th er frequently. During the last biennium ending Ju n e I, 1%1, the total occupational disease hill to the taxpayers o f P ennsyl va nia w as upward- of $27 million. A pproxim ately 90 per rent of this was paid to m iner s for lung dis orders. In my opinion, the a u th o r s of our present legislation arc to he commended for their humane elTort in alleviating snlTcrmg and financial distress am o n g o u r mining people because o f health d iso rd ers that originated hiring their work in various mines.

An Attorney ( h u e r . d 's decision gave the Dcparinitiit of Health prismiml the right of entry into the mines fur the purpose of making this lo t study.

'I he S o i d . m <>i the Department of Health at that lime rial ized that his people would need assistance from trained mining personnel, and re quested the Secretary o f Mines and Miitci.ri Industries to have a mine inspector ;irriM panv the survey team ami he responsible f<t their safe conduct during the siudv. In Pennsylvania as in o th e r states, mine in .pci trs are char ged with certain mandated dn ties. One provision of our mine knv requires mine inspections at regular intervals. Tim e taken from legally required duties for the purpose of conducting dust study Slim y teams into the mines necessarily interrupted regular mine inspections. O u r department fell that the mine spec inis enuld not continue litis additional wmk and still comply with the mine inspiciion laws.

Evans o f the D e partment of Mines stated at a la te r( meet ing, comprised of the same representatives who ath n d ed the original niicling, that it w:is his intention to employ fu st-g rad e mine foremen as dust study personnel both in the anthracite and bituminous division^. F ol lowing this meeting, four first-grade mine foremen were employed--two assigned to the anthracite division and two to the bituminous division. A comprehensive six-weeks training period was arranged to familiarize our dust study personnel with various techniques of sam pling and analyzing coal dust. Following tlii-; training period, we equipped two c o m plete laboratories--one in each division. P r e s ently. dust counts arc made with a microprojector. Some work has been done on direct counting, and our personnel are f a miliar with both methods. Qualitative sam ple? arc collected b y o u r people and the d e terminations are made by the Department of Health. The laboratories arc not pres ently equipped to make qualitative analyses. At the end of the training period, Secre tary Evans met with the dust study per sonnel from both the anthracite and bitumi nous divisions. H e outlined a tentative procedure and described bis expectations. Uric fly, bis instructions w e r e : 1. l i e emphasized that dust study p e r sonnel must be concerned only with the work for which they were employed. This deI'.iituu'iit had reports that on some invasion';, personnel making similar studies had ex ceeded their authority and reported situa tions about which they had no knowledge or jurisdiction. 2. H e insisted that before enter ing the mine, our personnel should have a thorough understanding of the property, thus enabling them lo conduct a study that would he rep resentative of the dust in suspension through out the mine. 3. H e suggested that periodically,1 p r o cedures were lo be discussed with repre sentatives of the Department of Health and with mine management. I -I O n r people were advised that i h l p u r pose of this study was lo enable the De partment of Health to evaluate the effects of du<t on the lungs o f our mining people. and that an y p iecem eal publication of the report could have undesired effect. There fore, it had been agreed by all parlies lo this study that one copy o f the report would he furnished lo the W ashi ngt on oflice o f the U n h i d Mine W o r k e r ; of America, the op erator of the sampled mine, the Secretary of the Dep ar tm en t o f Health, and one copy was to be retained in the Department ol Mines and Mineral Industries. Ilcfo re o u r entry into the first mine, three of the m a j o r companies operating in the bi tuminous area expressed the desire to con duct studies simultaneously with our person nel in their mines. W e welcomed this idea and felt that in time other con! companies in P ennsylvania will express the same in terest and conduct studies of their own. At the time this was written, we had com pleted surveys in at least one mine o f each o f the companies who w ere making simul taneous studies. W e then met with the coal company industrial hygienists from these companies an d outlined o ur procedure. We invited their criticism, ami I am happy to repo rt th at in the main, they were most complimentary. It was felt by all concerned that periodic meetings o f this type would prove most beneficial in arriving at a stand ar d procedure that would he indicative of the intended purpose. Insofar as is possible, we have adopted similar procedures liotli f o r the anthracite and bituminous divisions. It might prove in teresting and helpful to this group to outline this procedure: 1. T h e Deputy S n i e l . u y o f Mines and Mineral Industries of the pertinent division makes arrangements with mine management lo conduct a dust study in a specific mine. 2. T h e dust study personnel meet the state mine inspector at the mine for the purpose o f becoming acquainted with local mine management. Al this meeting, the mine in spector gm-s over the mine map and gives a description o f the methods of mining be ing practiced. It is only for this one-day meeting th at o ur state mine inspectors are delayed in th eir regular duties. T h ey can, of course, as time permits, accompany our dust study personnel on at least a part of the survey. 3. N o attempt is made to study every working place in the mine. During the orientation discussion, our dust study per- 00 ,./ M inina sound ascertain llic number of vAjikiitop splits, (lie pot r e n ta g e o f retreat m in in g .icn ipared to first mining, and a g e n e r a l . d ^ p p ; tion of llic haulages ov er which faclTrarc transported. This orientation period has proven most helpful in making plans for (he actual survey. 4. Determ inations arc made of c a d i of the various classifications and in proportion to the uitmhcr of such classifications in each mine. F o r example, if there ar c twenty ouilimious m ining machines operating in a mine, we m ake a n clo rt to take dust cou nts and samples at at least half of them. Likewise, the sa m e procedure is followed for cad i o f the varions joli classifications. 5. Daily samples are correlated into a v erage time weighted exjmsmes. For example, if a continuous mining ojicrnlor is to tie sampled on a certain day, the ope rator is . met at the laniplioiisc hv at least one of nnr dust study people. T h e sampling period starts on the ingoing manltip. Originally, we took 10-mimitc samples, hut we learned that sampled periods of such short duration were not necessarily representative o f each indi vidual operation. Now, samples arc extended over a one-hour period and at least 30 min utes of that hour rcpiesents the sampling (tine. T h is is done hy sampling for 10 m in utes a n d delaying for 10 inimits throughout the hour. Hy doing this, we feel that the entire day during high died and low dust concentrations, periods can best he described. 6. W i t h each time weighted cxjiosiirc, a dry dust sample is taken W e have tried various ({evict's for collecting this! from fhc atmosphere without success. Presently, we arc collecting adhering dust from ribs and/ or timbers. Along haulages, dust traps arc installed so that this dust rati hr collected over an entire shift period. The quantitative samples arc collected in alcohol using a midget impinger. T h e D e partment of lfrallh feels that counts should he taken within 21 hours. Some o f the coal company-employed hygienists do not agree that this is necessary. However, since this information is sent to the Department of Health, we comply with their directions. The qualitative samples arc collected and sent to the D epartm ent o f Health for analysis. With each time weighted exposure, there is also listed a silica determination of (lie dust col lected during the operation. In our years of opcrahuii, we have sampled live mines. 'To he o f any i h c i c arc mu shortcuts In le taken in u m kjug a dust s u r vey. O u r 'dust stu d y people, lie fully familiar with mining and niiiiing'ope-fciitoMS. It is U"i necessary for mine management to assign personnel |o accompany them into the mine T lirv slay with the individual cla-sihc.it iu being sampled on each particular shift and need not he taken into or brought from the iiiiuc during the shift. At the completion of a dust survey, reports are p te p .m d and sent only to the interested i cpi csciilal ices of each agency and mine management of the sampled mine. Since it was originally agreed that these reports would contain all information pertinent to the survey, tin y art* q u ite \olu iniuoiis and a r c composed o f the i<<11*wine 1.

W here the ratiojof the gas to air is only one to ninety-nine, the decree of change is extremely small, ami the r e sulting unit " i l l he very critical. jjarti< ularlv to foreign gases, water vapor, and dust. Dr. Maas of the Netherlands Department of Mines reports that a imlh.morm-ter which is mounted against tin* wall of a roadway has heen in use for about eight years in the Netherlands. This is presumably a sta tionary methane recorder, for he slates that it is too fragile and too large to he mounted on heavy equipment. As he points out, any such instrument can he modified to actuate a relay and give an alarm at any preset value. The following is a very brief article in the Novem ber 4, 19M), issue of the South African Mining ami Knginccring journal which gives some insight into what the Unssi.uis have accomplished in the held of methane monitoring: "Methane measuring stations in various parts of a mine feed in formation through the mine telephone nctw1 to a computer which fuugr.uiis the ventilation system--as methane Intilds up in an area, more air is automatically directed into the area, thereby diluting the methane. If the methane builds up to a dangerous concent ration, the mine pmver system is automatically cut of/.1' Melhanomclcrs built on seven of the nine principles (all hut density and viscosity) listed in lire table in Pritchard's paper, one based on the absorption of ultraviolet light passing through a methane-air mixture, and one that measures on a photoelectric cell the quantity of light emitted during the combustion of methane by a catalytic fila ment have heen investigated, evaluated, or at hast arc familiar to those of us in the Ihircau who have heen involved in this prob lem. It is noteworthy that most of the successful methanometers and detectors for other combustible gases have been developed on the second principle listed, "icsisfance of electrically heated filament on which methane is burned catalytically." In most eases, the change in resistance that results from the combustion of the methane by a catalytic filament is employed to throw a bridge circuit out of balance. )o the Uureau-devcloprd detecting device, the heat transfer is used |o mechanically actuate a thcnual switch. The heat of combustion might also he used in conjunction w ith th erm is to rs att thermocouples. Although a number of the listed principle might he applied in the development n satisfactory laboratory nicihanomctcrs, cer lain limitations preclude their successful ap plication as mcthaiiomctcrs intended for use in coni mines. T h e resulting unit would li to delicate, to critical, o r to expensive. A study is in progress to determine tin component parts best suited lo the Ilurcau developed sensor, the best arrangement o these parts, and an ideal source of eleclitca energy. T h e last is relatively simple if aj leniatiug-c urrciit power is available hut somewhat more diliicult if the mine fume is direct current, bortimately, alternating current power is becoming more available H owever, since the proposed schedule 32 requires that t h e s y s t e m shall f unction for a period of 4 hours, independent o f .the mine mver, the most logical source of energy for powering the methane monitor seems lo he a sto rag e b attery which can be Boated on the line, an d thus kept at near full ch arg e while |vver is delivered |o the machine '1 Iw: relatively new hermetically seated nickel-cadmium batteries seem to tiller the most nearly ideal source of energy. Although a methane-monitoring system will not increase production o th er than by necessitating improved face ventilation am) thereby preventing explosions, we have been encouraged by the reception our cx|>criincntal monitoring equipment has received from those in the industry who have seen it. There seems to he many officials in the coal mining industry who feel (hat th ere is a need for an au tom atic means o f determ in in g (he methane concentrations in the face regions. This is particularly t r u e in the case of those lining cohlimious mining machines. Ill eoi)('h>sii>, progre ss has been made, but the success*ul development o f a complete methane-monitoring system is still not a reality. l,'urihcr moi e, the llureati-tlcvclopcd sensing element is mil considered the ulti m ate in design ami operation. T h e re may lie better ways o f achieving the desired results. Considering all of the technological advances that have been made in recent years in this country', surely other satisfac tory equipment can lie developed.

You can suspect iis iucmiuc wherecver there is fire, but don't be fooled into believing that just because there is a lot ol air present that carlmu monoxide will not be formed. T o illustrate ibis point, lake the burning of newspaper in excess air as an example.

T h e misconception expressed as "chronic carbon m o n o x id e poisoning" is probably based on eases w here there lias J been prolonged asphyxia which has damaged flic brain loo sevejely for complete recovery but not sufficiently en o u g h to kill the victim.

O r occupational diseases rail he studied according lo the pari of the body affected or the hind of disease. bur example, many toxic chemicals may attack the skin, caus ing an iiinninmufiou which we call derm a titis. These or other chemicals may affect the lungs, the liver, the kidneys, the hones, or various combinations of organs of the liody, and, in many eases, the entire system. Occupational diseases may he acute and temporary, or may be chronic and long-last ing. Ilricf exposures to certain chemicals may produce symptoms that arc of short duration, and the individual recovers quickly. A guild example of this is mrf:d fun. fever, arising from inhalation of the fumes pro duced when certain metals arc healed to temperatures above the melting point.

M.D. Senior Dermatologist, Provident Hospital, Chicago incidence o f industrial S kin Diseases While there arc at present no iriiahlc statistics on (lie incidence of occupational dermatoses, their frequency is undisputed. Indeed, in World W a r II evidence indicates that there were more skin casualties than all other battle casualties in this very spe cialized occupation of soldiering. in lCugtand, a three year study done be tween 1930 ami 1932 inclusively, more than 72 per cent of all occupational diseases were found to be industrial o r occupational dermatoses. Reports from the compensation hoards to m i i u >4.lies iii this country indicate;! that <5 per cent of all compcitsihlc eases we 10 occupational dermatos es. In a fashion more understandable to those of us accus tomed to cost and taxes, tiiis means an clim ated loss of more than ten weeks per year with an annual cost of approximately one million dollars. This, in itself, a stag gering figure. . /mi/om y am! i'unctiou o f the Skin With these brief statistics, it is well to ask something of their body area, so easily d isu sed to such great measure of damage. And df/ain it is fell that a most superficial look at the anatomy and function o f the skin, as it is related to this question, s indicated especially for those not related to the medical sciences. It is not always realized that the skin is one of the most im portant o rgans of the body. In its embryonic development, it represents the fust of the three primary or basis tissues formed, the ectoderm. And from this ectoderm the largest sensory or gan is developed, the brain. So the skin is not only a prologue to the brain, but remains the next largest sensory organ. T he skin is an oigon, a very complex organ, constituting about one sixteenth of the total body weight. It contains, within its comparatively thin struct me, muscles, blood vessels, nerves, glands, specialized cells such as those that produce pigment ami appendages such as nails and hair. Willi ovTr-siinplificaiioM, we can divide 11ic skin in two m a jo r laycis - an inner layer, called the cnriiiiu and ail outer layer called epithelium. T h e inner layer is lough, elastic and resilient, and its chief function 1 i 0 (M K I* \ .

(4) It receives anti transmits sensations of many types to the central nervous sys tems such as pain, heat and cold, (5) It regulates hotly heat so that e x tremes of external temperature changes can he neutralized. (6) It secretes water and some waste products. (7) Finally, it has a small rule in respira tion and gaseous interchanges.

Historical Background o f Industrial Diseases From a historical point of view, injuries Mitlered by the skin were kn own hut not favored in medical writings for many years.

D. H arm an, vice president and general m anager of the G ary-H obart W ater Corp., G ary, liid , said that tIt* ground m b '; of a w ater sa fety program m ust deal will* these areas: the utility and its employees, the custom ers, the equipment, the quality o f the w ater, and the elevated storage facilities supplementing the reservoirs. H e defined a reservoir as any impounded supply of water. Mr. H a n n an gave an exam ple of the dangers of having a reservoir near a com munity, pointing out the pressure exerted by citizens to gain permission to fish in the reservoir, usually followed by extensions to allow row boats, then m otor Imats, and from there through w ater-skiing to a full-fledged resort and pollution of the water. M r. H a rm a n m entioned that the 10-12 elevated tanks in (*arv, located at pumping stations, were a constant safety problem. He said that the greatest dangers were from m lnoioiis by teenager';, and that barbed wiie. locked gat>, and solid, high Inundations w ere barely enough to pi event them. M r. J. C. Vaughn, chief filtration engineer. South District Filtration Plant, Ihtreati of W ater, Chicago, discussed safely at the w ater treatm ent plant, and said that the functions of a safety program there should he to eliminate existing hazards, provide protective equipment, and ensure safe-w ork practices through a safety education pro gram . H e said that Iiis plant owned $30,000 worth of safely equipment. Mr. Vaughn, in an excellent series of slides, show ed the range of safety devices in use at his plant: bulletin boards and sug gestion boxes, monthly safety bulletins, chain guards at sleep stairways, plastic protectors on pumps and grinders, striked guards on couplings, voltage signs to w:hn of electrical wires, safely clothing for work with chemi cals, washing facilities for acid hum s, ami gas masks, solvny kits, and other equipment for w ork w ith poisonous gases. S peaking o f safety in the sto rag e and distribution of water, Mr. Merrill H. A nder son, safely advisor. City of Duluth, Minn , m entioned that L ake S u p erio r w as (lie reservoir for D uluth, and th at the pumping station a t L akew ood turned over 15.5 million gallons o f w ater per lay. H e |niiuted out the attendant problem of obtaining a salisfaclon pressure o f (low from the d istrib u te d water. A nother problem arose from the use of cast iron m ains, w hich developed leaks a f lc r years of use, probably due to electrolytic deteriora tion, and necessitated large-scale replacement and even th e laying o f e n tire new systems of mains. M r. A nderson said that m ost accidents re* sidled from m isadventures d u rin g routine operations, and that unusual o r particularly hazardous operations w ere so carefully at tended to that accidents w ere few and minor. M r. O liver S um m ers, plant engineer, Indianapolis W a te r Co., Indianapolis, Iml. discussed the problems of administering a safely p ro g ram at a w a te r utility. H e said that w ater utilities w ere som ew hat behind in the sa fety endeavor, hut th at an encourag ing start had been m ade th ro u g h flic adop tion of a safely m anual and increased coiit.ul with smaller utility plants M r. S um m ers stressed th e need of having top m anagem ent lake nu active part in (lie safety program , by a tte n d in g sa fe ty meetings and by m eeting w ith supervisors. H e said (hat tail-gale sessions w ere a m ust in any safety program , and th at such session' should be held w ith the engineering ami m eter reading d ep artm en ts, h ut not neces sarily w ith the ollicc sta ll. I fe stressed the role o f the supervisor as the m ain line ol safety defense, and the necessity o f keepinj records. In a note on autom otive safety , Mr. Sum m ers outlined a tw o-point p ro g ram for tlx m aintenance o f a sa fe ty fleet: inspection of vehicles (m ost im p o rta n t), and the detailed investigation of accidents, l i e said seat belli were an excellent idea. In (he question-and-answ er session that followed, lire mean.s o f disciplining safetyrule in fractio n s w ere discussed, am) two dif ferent so'.ilions w ere p ro p o sed : penalties of 'm-'ptnsinn or loss of pay, and compulsory attendance at safely liaiu m g ci*ssions. } uoo / OFFICERS O F TH E PUBLIC UTILI SECTION N A TIO N AL SAFETY CO U N CIL 1961-62 Cruenti Ciutirm an-- V.
