Waterbury, Conn.
Dear Mr. Granger:
Enclosed herewith you vill find an article entitled
"Radio Active Material an Industrial Hazard?", by Dr. Froderick B. Flinn,
Ph. D., Assistant Professor of Physiclogy 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. Flinn, 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 Jowrnal of the
Amerioan Medical Association.
While it sesms that the charge of tradium poisoning
caused the death of several girls (which charge was widely advertised
through the prese a fer months ago) is entirely unfounded, we naturally
hesitate - without further investigation - to make the broad statement
that radium in luminous material in unharmful, although bolieve 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 between their lips.
Whenever we receive any further authentic informa-
tion on the subject, we shall be glad to pass 2t along to you.
Yours very truly,
President.
