Dear
Enclosed herewith you will find an article entitled
"Radio Active Material an Industrial Hazard?", by Dr. Frederick B. Flinn,
Ph. De, Assistant Professor of Physiology in Industrial Hygiene, College
of Physicians and Surgeons, Columbia Univorsity, which treats of the
so called Pradiun necrosis" or radium poisoning cases. The investigation
by Dr. Finn, which formod the basis of his article, has been by far the
most torhough and far reaching work undertaken on this subject. This
articla vill appear in one of the early issues of the Jnurnal of the
American Medical Astociation.
Whlle it seems that the charge of "radium poisoning
caused the death of several girls (which charge was widely advertised
through the press a ferr months ago) is entirely unfounded, we naturally
hesitate - without furthor investigation - to malce the broad statement
that radium in luminous material is unharmful, although we believe this
to be the case. Thereforo, in order to be on the safe side, we caution
you, if you have not already done so, to order your operators not to
point their application brushes with their lips.
Thenever we receive any further information on the
subject, wo shall be glad to pasa it along to you.
Yours vory truly,
President.
