FRIGIDAIRE PRODUCT OF GENERAL MOTORS Telluride Power Company SHARP DUST PARTICLES 'HOOK' THEIR WAY INTO MEMBRANES AMD DISEASE RESULTS Science Tells Why Some Trades, Dry Sweeping and Motoring Mo-toring on Certain Highways Are Dangerous to Health in Bringing on Respiratory Maladies. I i " 1 i . 1 Crot-Sectlon of Human Head Showing Mucous I Membrane of Nose and Throat. SCIENTIFIC research Is gradually gradual-ly finding out why dust kills one out of every seven persons. The Harvard Medical School, the United States Public Health Service, various Insurance companies and the great labor organizations of the country coun-try are all interested In the problem. For example, according to Dr. L. R. Thompson, of the United States Public Pub-lic Health Service, the sickness record of granite workers shows that the greater part of illness proceeds from respiratory conditions and that rmplr-atory rmplr-atory diseases are three t'mea as prevalent prev-alent among granite workers as among workers in general Industry. 'lt is clear," said Dr. Thompson, "that wherever there is a great amount of granite dust there is a dangerous dan-gerous hazard, a mortality which seems inevitable and which is rising all the time." Incidentally, according to Federal st: Mstic3, from 4.500,000 to 5,000,000 persons are employed In the dusty trade, but everyone, from the man who fears ry sweeping" by housewives house-wives on their front steps to the motorist mo-torist who must find his way through clouds of dust on the hi"hway, is affected af-fected by the menace of flue particles In the air. Various theories have been proposed to explain why dust should be such a danger to health. The usual explana Hon ;ks the cause In the tenderness of tiie mucous membrane lining of the throat and nose. Hcalttiy throats and noses secrete :i fluid, the mucui, which is Just -um- cieut to take care of ordinary dust la the air. If that amount should be expended, ex-pended, the dust becomes too great to bo handled by the inucus and the dust penetrates into the deeper parts of the body lining. Dust is of various kinds, but whether wheth-er It is organic or inorganic In origin makes no difference. What makes the dust particles dangerous Is their shape. Particles that have sharp corners, cor-ners, such as dust from marble, metal, wood or stone, cut Into the niembrano very much as an old-fashioned knitting needle cuts Into worsted and there the dust particles become fastened. The mucus fluid referred to passes over those particles, moving them to and fro, and causing the membrane to become tender and ther inflamed. Should the pro' ss become continuous, continu-ous, as so often happens, serious sinus conditions result eid in aggravated cases, tuberculosis may bo their termination. termi-nation. That, in brief, is what happens. Scientists have tried with nil the resources at their command to combat com-bat dust in the air, but so far, with a few exceptions, tile results have not been fruitful. As a means of prevention, preven-tion, suggestions have been made In various quarters that the dust m'-ht be laid with some sort of physical or chemical means and in ninny sections of the United States municipalities have been laying the dust with calcium cal-cium chloride. That is a chemical capable of absorbing a high degree of moisture from the air, hygros-oplc. It is called, which acts as a binder of dust on the highways. It -ilso baa great germicidal value. |
