THE EVENING . STAR, WASHI DISEASE FROM DUST| FOUND WIDESPREAD Report to Chemical Society | Explains Industrial Il Causes and Effects. Br the Associated Press NEW YORK, October 1.—Silicosis. an | tndustrial illness due do breathing dust. | was reported to the American Chemical ! Society today as more widespread than | hitherto believed. The report was made ! by Dr, Harrison E. Howe, editor. Indus- trial and Engineering Chemistry. Silicosis s caused by silica, a white erystalline substance composed of oxy- gen and silicon, the two most abundant elements in the earth’s crust. It is lentiful in some kinds of dust, the armful particles being barely one twenty-five_thousandth of an inch in diameter. Dr. Howe says they are be- | lieved either to dissolve in the lungs or to form a colloid, a substance of glue- like consistency, 'which floats in the | ypoi* 3600 longshoremen at Gal- lung tissue fluids.

Once established, says Dr. Howe, silicosis is permanent, and the scar tissue is likely to spread even when | SEHTIAAP) (PTHoR the sufferer is transferred to other work whera the dust exposure is eliminated. ‘Silicosis.” he says. “is not a newly discovered condition, but recent investi- gations do indi~ate a greater prevalence than heretofore believed. and. unfortu- nately, a much wider distribution. It has been found in drillers nnd muckers who quarried New York sub- ways, in the dust from sand used in metal molds, in the cutlery industry, in pulverized quartz sands and in asbestos work, where & peculiar form of silicosis 15 called asbestosis. Safety From Hazards. “A certain amount of safety has been assumed,” Dr. Howe states, “in hazards of this type because of the belief that from 3 to 15 years are necessary to give sufficient_exposure -to produce silicosis. By changing the personnel in dangerous departments every two years or so it was believed adequate protecticn resulted. “However, evidence is slowly accu- mulating that under unfavorable con- ditions, a few months’ exposure may lead to genuine and disabling silicosis. ‘The disease is usually progressive and frequently but not regularly is invaded by tuberculosis. Practical measures for control of such dusts are available.” POLICE DISPERSE “RED” LOS ANGELES STUDENTS Communist Sor(ety in Schools Is Revealed by Seizures of Documents.
