Your Health How To Keep It. Causes of Illness
BY DIR. MORRIS FJSHBElN Editor Journal Of the American Medical Association and Of Ny
 gcia, the Health Magazine

The National Safety Council has just made available an extensive re- port of d committee which has been investigating the hazards involved in spraycoating.
 The process of painting by spray ing paint with compressed air was first introduced in this country in lS9o. Today it has practically rev olutionized the process of finishing and rcfinishinG in industry.
 The health hazards involved in the situation have been considered only during the past ten years There are three major hazards hich may be involved in the use of spray-coating in interior work.
 Lead and BcnzCl
 Where paints or enamcls contain a good deal Of lead the handler may develop lead poisoning. When benzol thinners are used bcnzol poisoning sometimes follows. In the nse Of certain channels there may he enough finely divided sil- ica to permit the possibility Of sih- cuSis.
 The study 'nst made availah" hy the council indicates that ben zol is hazardous substance and that masks and respirators depend ing on fitrata process cannot be again hanzol fumes.
 Whenever bonzol Is used. there must be an effective exhaust ven tilation. I7uIthcrmnre. workers should have monthly nominations so that brnzol poisoning can be de- tected early.
 The possibility of lead poisoning was studied In 11n workers. many of whom had definite symptoms, so that it seemed to be clear that under certain circumstances tho lead poisoning hazard in spray coating is significant,
 The silica hazard seems 70 ho of importance, because there were more physical complaints from the spraycrs Of yitrous enamels than in any of the other groups studied.
 Masks and Rcspirators
 Both exhaust ventilation and mask rospirators arc of service. hut tn. authors believe that the masks which provide q steady stream of fresh alr arc much bet ter than those that aid 10 filter out the poisonous substances.
 The commission also Teconl- mended that manufacturers or yaints. lacqucrs. shellacs and enam- els used for spray oating eliminate benzol load and silica as largely as possible and indicate on the la bels of the preparations the amount of these substances that they con- tain. Thus. the user will be able 10 take the necessary precautions for his protection.
