Canadas EVERY THURSD AY "If you take a cube of sugar," Dr. Robson explained, "and put it in water. it will dissolve. But if you paint the cube with waterproof paint, and then put it in water, it will not, dissolve, because the water cannot get at it." "The same principle works in the body," he said. The aluminium coats the silica dust, stops it from going into solution and damaging the dust cell: and allows the dust cell to carry the quartz dust back to the tubesâ€" where it is swept up into the throat and removed." Damage to Lung It is well known that the damage to lung tissue, from the inhalation of particulate silics, explained Dr. Robâ€" son. is in proportion to its degree of fineness. It may therefore be assumâ€" ed. he said. that from the pathologiâ€" cal standpoint, the greatest damage to the lungs of men exposed to a silica impregnated atmosphere, will not be from the dust which can be seen by the human eye, but from particles of less than one mxcron (one O c uis twentyâ€"tive‘thousandth of an inch), which is the most difficult to elimiâ€" nate fromâ€" an . industrial engineer‘s ctandpoint. ‘ The operations which produce the greatest amount of fine dust, Dr. Robâ€" son attests, are in the following order: blasting. machine drilling, ore passing. chute pulling and muckâ€" ing. Treatment The primary claim for aluminium was its use as a preventstive of soliâ€" cosis. It was realized that years would be required to assess its value, since it requires an average of 18 years for a case of silicosis to develop in the mines of Ontario. Following promising results obtainâ€" ed in the treatment of silicotic aniâ€" mals, selected groups of volunteer silicotics were treated therapeutically. In the laboratory of the McIntyre mine two men disâ€" covered that a minute quantity of metallic aluminium almost completely inhibits the solution of quartz in water and simuâ€" lated lung fluids. Tfie discoveryâ€"the use of aluminium powder in the preâ€" vention of silicosisâ€"has since passed through the usual stages of experimentation, and in nine years of experience on miners has produced nothing but beneficial results. (a)l in a clinic in the Porcupine camp under the direction of Dr. W. D. Crombie and Dr. J. L. Blzisdell; and (b) later. in a similar clinic estabâ€" lished by Dr. J. W. G. Hannon in Washington, Pa. The 'results were â€" similar, both groups reporting, (a) That the inhalation produced no hasrmful effects. (b) That a certain percentage show e d functional improvemeni, measured increase in lung ventilation. Robson and Denny The discovery was made by Dr. W. D. Robson, chief mediâ€" cal director, McIntyre Research, Ltd., and the late Mr. J. J. Denny, metallurgist. "Aluminium prophylaxis," to prevent silicosis, has since been made available to some fifteen thousâ€" and (15,000) silicaâ€"exposed employees in Canada, The United States, Mexico and Australia. (c) That a high percentage show symptomatic improvement, disappearâ€" ance of cough, shortness of breath, tightness of chest, and weakness. Most James Thomson Elected President of the T.F.C.

"And today," avers Dr. Robson, "we do not believe that new employees will ever develop silicosis in the mines of Canada, if aluminium therâ€" apy is continuous from the time a man first becomes exposed to a silica hazard, and for a certain period after this exposure ceases; providing all other controls are properly maintainâ€" ed." "The real test," he adds, "as far as the prevention of silicosis is concernâ€" ed. will be its effect on those men who had no previous mining history prior to the introduction of alumiâ€" nium prophylaxis. Single Copyâ€"Five Cents "The.méthvod may not prevent all miners from showing signs of proâ€" gression, Dr. Robson says, but, if proâ€" perly applied it will do so‘ to new snn mt ns s in is miners and a large "percentage of older. workmen. The use of aluminum might appear as an easy shortâ€"cut to healthf{ul working conditions, thus saving large expenditures for ventilation and other control ‘methods. Actually, there is no substimte for the accepted methods of dust control. â€" (Engineering and Mining J‘ournal, July 1946) I would not recommend the alumiâ€" num treatment by any employer who intends to rely upon aluminum as a preventative to the exclusion of reâ€" cognized engineering methods â€" for the control of silica dust hazard.â€"Dr. L.
