68. Is it not a fact that the principal beneficial effects that have occured from
the internal uso of radium may be ascribed to the alpha radiation?
69. Hes there ever occured anything in the litorature with regard to the protection
and precautions to be exercised in the handling of radium such as has been adminia-
tered internally, let us say up to 100 micrograms of radium element?
70. Will you describe what in your opinion constitutes & large enough quantity of
radium that precautions recommended by the British X-rey and Radium Protection
etc., should be exercised.
71. Let us assumo for a moment that at the time we employed operators engaged in the
application of self luminous saterial to clock disls etc., that an operator vas
given at one time a maximum of 2 grams of sine sulphide, and such 2 grams contained
a maxirum of 60 micrograms of radium olement, would such an amount have been
sufficient in your opinion that it would have been necessary to exercise the pro-
cautions outlined by the British X-ray and Radium Protection Como. ; etc.?
72. Let us assumo that an individual should have ingested radioactive naterials as was
claimed by those employed in our plant, and that they retained this material for
a prolonged period of time, would that not be contrary to expectations, in view
of the literature relative to the elimination of radiosctive materiale?
73. Is it not & fact that individuals who have unduely retained this material end not
eliminated it in the usual manner probably present sono idiosyncrasy which is not
common to the average individual?
74. May not this idiosynerasy be of such a nature that the person's nornal health was
jeopardized, even though they had not been exposed to radioactive naterials in a
manner whoreby it was possible for them to ingest it?
75. Is it not probable to assume that in the first place such individuala as unduely
retained this material must have been suffering from a lack of proper functioning
of their excretory organs?
