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: First. "free dioxide. less than 10 microns in greatest diameter." This means exactly what it s. .1 vs--not calcium carbonates, not iron oxides, not silicates, not even silicon carbide hick is carborundum) but free silicon dioxide. It seems probable that no little ,,fusion has arisen in the minds of plant superintendents and engineers of the time- nored 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 Leen conclusively demonstrated that it is utterly impossible to acquire silicosis from exposure to cement dust. It should be mentioned that quartz is not the only form f free silica, though it is apparently the most dangerous and certainly the most cannon form. The various amorphous forms of the compound, such as flint, tripoli and chert may also produce the silicotic reaction in the lung, but they are known to he less severe in their effect ; 'II Ht" . ; 1;, 1; !;:!. 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 material 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 tI I per cent guar= In a special fraction containing only large particles, 40 to SO per cent quartz was found. I 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 analysis 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. 1. The second limiting factor is concentration. The exact amount of air-borne 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. Dr. A. 7. Lanza, Assistant Medical Director of the Metropolitan Life Insurance 1i 1...,'.,,.. I '1 1 1.1 Company, an outstanding authority on the silicosis problem, gave an excellent sum- i!I ':1 mart' of what needs to be known about dust concentration in his paper presented be- fore The American Institute of Mining and Metallurgical Engineers, in February, 1937. He said: III I:) . 1,1 I:: l n the oresent,tato-cd-nur-knawiedag. it i, ii`dt i...m.ible-ter-establish-perrnissibk-- ----- dliumstitcsoonftdenutstainndesisnfeoxl.teIrllndaul ritiyspidnldioiugt. rcioen-s-dHiti-oinirsoicsessose.eix-atr--semthee.-WInrimatiionningb;othh--owWetvheer- . 7"7..-t.': working :cOnditions -are -fairly -constant and it would le ortremely valuable to -the 1..

This standard is subject to modification as more data are developed q 1 by different industrics.-:-The National Silicosis Conference report also-says, "It is recommended That clinical and engineering studiesle,carried -eat as itapidly'_as pot. - -1 1.: .1 1' 434 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 dun: 1 1. The relative number and size of the free silica and the other particles inspended at breathing levels in the different parts of the industrial atmosphere. conce2n.trTathioenps.roportion of the workmen's time actually spent in the various dust 4 3. The effects of exposure to environment, as revealed by the occupational and medical histories of old employees, by physical examination and by the roentgenological 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 Dr. 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 I based on the findings of these studies. One of the outstinding conclusions a student of these researches in the cement industry will reach is that concentrations of free silica appreciably higher than the maximum specified by the Silicosis Conference are safe if the silica constitutes a moderate proportion of the total dust. Apparently a mixture of silica with other minerals, if the other minerals are predominant, tends to inhibit the effect of the silica in the lung. It is not yet possible to recommend, without reservation, the dilution 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, where.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 hmg condition attributable to dust. Although no agreement has been reached as to the rmucinstern 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 :one of the workers, in the interests of comfort and increased eiliciency. 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 luuard- mu dust will not affect a man unless be is actually exposed to it and will not have ------2narstreffeerna-Tmer-Irho-irexposed-to-it-one--hour--e--iley-es-en tirmansly apiieed. -- The.United States Public Health Service has developed a formula for calculating the actuil exposure in terms. of particle hours. They recommend-in Bulletin 217, 'The - - - - Deterinination and Control of Industrial Dust." that the particle concentration. sTt anz area be multiplied by the number of hours an employee -Tories in that_area:. that she product be calculated for each hour of the working day and teat .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 million particles per cubic foot; three hours in a concentration of 10 million particles: one and three-quarter hours in a concentration of 40 million particles and 13 minutes in concentration 1,200 million Levities. The man's exposure would be calonlated: Tr Hours per day a 2 3 2* Total Hours 8 800 particle hours in rr The application from a study of cone plant atmospheric dust by the P. H. S. meti greatest.

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 this; i. 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 fir other dusts. Medical authorities state that not only does the silicotic lesion in the 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. Bushnell, 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. First or eves 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 earn a living at his regular job just because his X-ray shows some signs of nodulation. The job should be cleaned up by approved else- --tmering-methads.sticpuile. but discharge _of workers who are perfectly capable, irmaf bemuse -01-1-tionnymptometic-eondition-whieh-lay _mag fled out of all proportion. is certainly not.the solution of the problem.

Much. 437 of the dust nuisance can be eliminated by systematic routine and thorough clean-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. Preemployment 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 ,,roblern. 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 probably quartz. 2. Sufficiently intense concentrations of the dust to be hazardous. This concentration 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 clay or limestone, are intermixed with the silica. 3. Exposure by the employees over a sufficiently long period to high concentrations 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. If the working environment is adequately clean, a silicotic need not be denied work as long as he is free from infection and is capable of doing his job. Methods of control of the disease include 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 that control, especially engineering control, of the sili- cosis hazard is the phase of the problem that is of greatest importance to those of us who are interested in the practical methods of eradicating the disease. Dr. A. R. Riddell of the Ontario Department of Health, whose work in the gold fields of Ontario 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 the_erietnit=211.Aulti_lt==trandtteett-11.fivrotriettr far-thr-inehtstrial engineer.

Now, hand tools, there ,rc quite a number of injuries come from hand tools, and I am vats to hear Mr. Nu:het-ford 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 .n injured finger. 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 men, and to my surprise one day I saw a man, he wanted to take his gloves off, change his gloves, he put the small bar right in his mouth, you know what happened, his tongue was stuck on the bar, he bad 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 in 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 xvere 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. CztAtemAN Wrrunt: 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? Ma. F. W. WEI= (Standard Lime & Stone Co., Woodville, Ohio) : We 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 theta 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. Of 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 in a bad place I have got to pat them on. I have a pair to fit over these glasses, although I wear them lots of places where -glaases4e-permismitita-And-tract -also-apeiias-te-- sal ety-show-altbougb-we-haven't got a per cent, we to have before the year is Fee7-7-1 -railW-------147!T shoes, when they first came out you thought you had to build a pair of -shoes and th _zus-LiisaLctiliatt isubclapLatid ivertbssiy. ;-01414 wear theta,-but -doe7-30011 found -- fitrigif815411:11FME1-01FirffiTrillar1141512r1-PittrW -shorn for 'Sunday if. they (Watkins didn't take them.

They went home and the next morning they came back and all the glasses were out of the office before he came. So sometimes it takes discipline to handle the problem. CHALRYAN Wirssza: Any more comments on this problem of small tools and minor injuries? If not I will call for nominations for chairman for the committee for next year. We have got to nominate a chairman for next years' session sometime, might as well get up and nominate a chairman. Thereupon Mr. Rutherford was nominated as chairman. MR. Coartzurs: I move to close the nomination. CPIACILMAN WITILT2: It is moved by Mr. Cornelius that the nomination is closed. In view of that fact all those in favor of Mr. Rutherford for chairman of next year signify by saying "Aye". Motion carried. CaAntstax Wrrscie: Mr. Rutherford has been elected chairman for next year. In past years it has been the experience that the Chairman never acts as chairman, he passes the buck onto the Vice Chairman. Therefore we now hold nominations for the important office, that of Vice Chairman. Do I hear any nominations for Vice Chairman? tifa Rtrraturoan: I nominate J. R. Weaver. Ma. Weave': I believe I will decline to accept that nomination. Csalescax Wrrscza: It is still open for nomination. Do I hear any nomina- tions for Vice Chairman? Thereupon Mr. Cornelius was nominated as Vice Chairman. Ma. WIAVII: I move the nomination be closed and Mr. Cornelius be elected. Motion seconded and carried. CRAIIIIIA WIT2lItItt Mr. Cornelius elected Vice Chairman. I again express my gratitude to Mr. Rutherford arid Mr. James who gave us such wonderful talks here today, and I am sure that we all profited measurably by it. Is there any more business to come before the meeting, or any other remarks? Ma. Lzwts: I would like to say something before the new president takes office. There are quite a number of quarries in Ohio that never send anyone here. I would make a suggestion. it is only a suggestion, I want you to understand that our division of Safety and Hygiene is instructed to help and assist in every way that we possibly can. Mr. Kearns gave me this order. I would suggest that you get a list, your President, Secretary and Vice President get a list of the quarries from the Industrial Commission and write a letter, and if you write a letter we will have i"1 ----ir-senesserefrzycirmialw-minseogriapised=andf=sent-ntw-Aeont-Assr-zetfice=seprthe=different-.7-r--- 7-- quarrymen of the State of Ohio requesting them to get into this section and see if of -big-'secifons. -1 compliment:yew here today, you are- bigsfer_heifis tpdai thatmi. -wee last year.
