SECRETS OF
HEALTH
by DR.. C. A. L. Reed

THE air we breathe, everywhere,
= Is more or less laden with
dust. This Is at times a seriou
menace to health, especially in
large cities. It occure. likewise,
in some extensive industries in
which the principles Of preventive
medicine have not been put into
practice.
Ny attention has been attracted
to an incident of this kind that
has occurred in England. G.
Snowden reports journal Of State
Medicinel that, short while ago,
a factory owner complained to the
local authority in a London dis
trict tSt. Pancras Borough Coun-
Glib Of the amount Of dust dis
charged from the chimney Of its
electric light works. Not only, said
the complainant, was the dust a
nuisance as dust, but samples OF
IL had been analysed by a chem.
list, who reported that it contained
125 parts OF arsenic to every mill
ion parts Of dust.
The local authority retorted that
special appliances were installed
in their electric light works to
prevent the discharge of dust, and
therefore it was not likely that
the quantity complained came
from there, but on account OF the
reference to arsenic, specimens
were taken and analysed carefully.
The public analyst reported that
samples from the flues from the,
electric light works contained
from to IA parts Of arsenlous
oxide per million parts. Samples
taken from the neighborhood Of
refuse Instructor contained 100
parts and samples from the flues
OF neighboring factories anything
from 400 to 500 parts. From rain
water cutters and roofs all around
anything from 100 to $50 parts
were extracted, though the gut
tiers of the electric light works
showed the lowest figure. The
weather had been very wet at the
time of the investigation. so that
certain amount of arsenic might
have been dissolved out of the
dust deposited and washed away.
The source of the arsenic was
thought to be the coal used in the
furnaces. The pulverized coal or
the electric light works yielded
only three parts Of arsenic in
million, and the factories did not
burn any fuel or other substances
which might be expected to &C
count for such a large quantity
in their smoke.
The question arises-is this a
new source of danger to health.
or, if not new. at any rate one
which has not previously been
recognized? The recent investisa-
tions into arsenic on apples
showed that one hundredth of a
grain per pound was undesirable.
This equals rather less than one
and a half parts per million, so
that the quantity in the dust rep
resented very heavy dose.
Twenty grams Of such dust would
contain one-hundredth of gram
of arsenic and 1t would be quite
possible by inhaling, and by eat
Ing food contaminated with the
dust, to take 20 grains into the
system. The smallest fatal dose
Of arsenic il two grains. Half a
pound Of the flue dust from one
of the factories would give this
dose 20 >.
