Mr. Leslie R. Fort,
Luminite Corporation,
24 Scott Ave.,
Newark, N.J.
Dear Mr. Fort:-
Enclosed herewith you. will find an article entitled
"Radio Active Material an Industrial Hazard?", by Dr. Frederick B. Flinn,
Ph. D., Assistant Professor of Physiology in Industrial Hygiene, College
of Physicians and Surgeons, Columbia University, which treats of the
so called "radium necrosis" or radium poisoning cases. The investigation
by Dr. Flim, which formed the basis of his article, has been by far the
most thorough and far reaching work undertaken on this subject. This
article will appear in one of the early issues of the Journal of the
American Medical Association.
While it seems that the charge of "radium poisoning"
caused the death of several girls (which charge was widely advertised
through the press a few months ago) is entirely unfounded, we naturally
hesitate - without further investigation - to make the broad statement
that radium in luminous material 12 unharmful, although 178 believe this
to be the case. Therefore, 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.
Whenever we receive any further information on the
subject, we shall be glad to pass it along to you.
Yours very truly,
President.
