THE CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD IN INDUSTRY



Proper resuscitation of acute cases is, of course, of supreme importance, and has received considerable attention. Not so much attention, however, has been given to the every-day medical supervision and care of the great mass of workers who do not exhibit these serious symptoms, but who nevertheless suffer discomfort, loss of efficiency, and are subjected to a series of successive minor injuries which may be cumulative in character. In the case case of carbon monoxide poisoning, just as in the case of lead poisoning the Bureau of Industrial Hygiene is devoting itself primarily to the cause of these men. – Industrial Hygiene Bulletin.
