nOunces Presence of
Poison Determined.

& Added protection for workers against
eilicosis and other ocoupational dis
eases was anticipated by scientists
here today following announcement
by the American Chemical Society
that X-rays have been found to be
effective in determining the presence
Of quartz sand in mine dust, the prin-
eipal factor inducing silicosis.
The proportion Of quartz sand can
be determined within l per cent by
m x-ray attraction method, found
to be more reliable than other chem
teal and physical methods, which have
been employed for this purpose, It was
stated in q publication just issued by
the society.
BY this X-ray method, the medical
profession and health ofncials can set
safety limits on the composition Of
mine and factory atmosphere for the
protection Of the worker against sill
COSTS, the chemist declared. The
method may also be applied to other
occup1tionAl diseases and dust prob
