SHARP DUST PARTICLES ‘HOOK’ THER WAY
INTO MEMBRANES AND DISEASE RESULTS
Science Tell* Why Some Trades, Dry Sweeping and Mo
toring on Certam iHighways" Are Dangerous to Health
in Bringing on Respiratory Maladies.
T
Cro»E-Section of Humtn Head Showing Mucoua
Membrane of Note and Throat.
S CIENTIFIC research Is 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 coun
try are all interested in the problem.
For example, according to Dr. L. R.
Thompson, of the United States Pub
lic Health Service, the sickness record
of granite workers shows that the
greater part of illness proceeds from
respiratory conditions and that respir
atory diseases are three t'mes as prev
alent among granite workers as among
workers In general Industry.
“It is clear,” said Dr. Thompson,
“that wherever there Is a great
amount of granite dust there Is a dan
gerous hazard, a mortality which
seems Inevitable and which is rising
all the time.”
Incidentally, according to Federal
statistics, from 4.500,000 to 5,000,000
persons are enydoyed in the dusty
trade, but everyone, from the man
who fears “dry sweeping” by house
wives on their front steps to the mo
torist who must find his way through
clouds of dust on the highway, Is af
fected by the menace of fine particles
in the air.
Various theories have been proposed
to explain why dust should be such a
danger to health. The usual explana
tion seeks the cause In the tenderness
Of the mucous membrane lining of
the throat and noee.
Healthy, throats and noses secrete *
fluid, the mucus, which Is just suffi
cient to take care of on. -ry dust In
the air. If that amount should be ex
ceeded, the dust becomes too great
to be handled by the mucus and the
dust penetrates Into the deeper parts
of the body lining.
Dust Is of various kinds, but 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 cor
ners, such as dust from marble, metal,
wood or stone, cut Into the membrane
very mudh 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 then Inflamed.
Should tha prof ss become continu
ous, as so often happens, serious sinus
conditions result and In aggravated
case's, tuberculosis may be their termi
nation. That, in brief, is what happens.
Scientists have tried with all the
resources at their command to com
bat dust In the air, but so far, with
a few exceptions, the results have not
been fruitful. As a means of preven-
tion, suggestions have been made in
various quarters that the dust mteht
he laid wits some sort of physical or
chemical means and In many sections
of the United States municipalities
have been laying the dust with cal
cium chloride. That is a chemical
capable of absorbing a high degree of
moisture from the air, hygroscopic. It
Is called, which acts as a hinder of
dust on the highways. It also has
great germicidal value.
Little Boy Suffers
Concussion of Brain
Bunyan Morris, Jr., eleven year old
son of Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Morris, is
home this morning convalescing after J
a most unusual experience. Young
Bunyan suffered a concussion of the
brain Saturday afternoon and. has
been in the Orangeburg hospital until
Wednesday night.
The Morris family were en route to
Barnwell Saturday when Bunyan<com-
plained of a headache. He was given
some medicine to relieve the head
ache, when later, while nearing
Orangeburg, he was found to be in
a comatose state. Bunyan was un
able to recognize his parents, and
was otherwise in a cdfnplete stupor.
Nothing was known of what was the
trouble until it was discovered that
there was a “lump” on his head.
An examination' revealed that it
was a concussion of the brain, and
Bunyan was immediately taken to
the Orangeburg hospital. Later the
fact became known that Bunyan, while
playing in front of the home in St.
Matthews, had fallen and his head
struck a sharp edge of the cement
sidewalk.—The Calhoun Times.
At a luncheon for Senator Curtis
held »t East Providence, R. I., the
oratory took up exactly 95 seconds.
And yet there was probably as much
said as is usually said at political
luncheons!
