retirement and pension plans worksmen's Compensation Board unemployment insurance etc. amount to close to 20 million to which should be added substantial sums which the industry devotes to scientific and medical research for the development of health conditions at work On the other hand the performance of these mining activities concentraled in five Eastern Township localities directly benefits 000 inhabitants of this Qu^'bec region which essentially depends on the asbestos industry Purchasing policy Furthermore the asbestos indus- try in doing business with some 290 Qu^'becsuppliers spread among the mining communities the adjoining cities and the major centres like Qu^'bec and Montr^'al purchases nearly 85 million worth of goods and services annually in Qu^'bec In this way in total the asbestos compagnies about 340 300 million whose 1976 sales are million injected some into the national econ- omy LBulletin| McGill and Industrial Health The Occupational Health and Safety Unit of Montr^'al's McGill Uni- versity is currently conducting im- portant research studies dealing particularly with dust elimination identification of dangers associated with the use of chemical products and the health of workers in the asbestos industry The Institute of Occupational Medicine of Montreal an organization created by the Qu^'bec Asbestos Mining Association recently commissioned the department to conduct two research projects to be financed by the Institute The first project deals with the methods used to decrease the concentration of asbestos fibres in respirable air using electrically water droplets sprayed from aerosol cans the second will be conducted in cooperation with the Institute of Occu- pational Medicine of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine of the University of London It will deal mainly with incidences of death and radiological changes among employees working in the asbestos mining industry A multidisciplinary team McGill University's Occupational Health and Safety Unit is headed by Dr Graham Gibbs Industrial Hygienist and groups together doc- tors engineers and experts in other various fields such as microbiology and geology The unit is geared to study all aspects of the industrial environment susceptible to affect the health and safety of workers The Department's principal laboratory facilities are located al Mont SI Hilaire near Montreal and include two experimental units to study exposure to dust and highlyperfected equipment to check the efficiency of respirators Experts study the effects produced by vari- ous levels of illumination the performance of ventilation systems and dust and noise measuring and control devices In addition to formulating and making recommendations relative to industrial health the McGill department cooperates with industry regarding implementation and development of equipment needed to improve hygienic and health working conditions Industrial doctors practice occupational medicine Dr.
