...years Alice Hamilton has studied the ill effects of industrial poisons (lead in the paint trades, toluene in TNT plants, carbon monoxide in steel mills, benzol in airplane "dopes"), in 1924 published a modern classic, Industrial Poisons in the U.S. She also engaged in many a bitter fight to force her scientific findings on an indifferent public...
...concentrated on poison gases, of war and peace. During World War I, Professor Henderson (with his assistant, Howard Haggard) invented a gas mask, but his greatest scientific work is his research on respiration. Physiologists long believed that asphyxiation was caused by lack of oxygen plus an accumulation of "poisonous" carbon dioxide in the body. The old method of resuscitation was to pump pure oxygen into lungs. But this method was seldom successful. Professor Henderson proved that carbon dioxide in small amounts is really an essential breathing stimulant, introduced an O 2 -CO 2 mixture which is used today...
...probably a darn sight better! Not only can but should, agreed Harold Ickes, his Bureau of Mines and the Senate Appropriations Committee last week. They plan to build an $85,000 pilot plant at Pittsburgh to imitate the German hydrogenation techniques whereby carbon (from coal) is combined with hydrogen to form the group of light hydrocarbon compounds called gasoline...
...good Americans, we blurted it right as blunt as could be: "When is your magazine going to be published?" we shouted, looking him straight in the eye. "Oh," he replied, "we're waiting for a major victory," and with that he zoomed up the street in a cloud of carbon monoxide...
World War II is a boon to the bug armies. The minerals with which man has fought bugs for years-arsenic, copper, lead-are now needed for his war on his own kind. Carbon tetrachloride, ethylene dichloride and chloropicrin are withheld from insecticide manufacturers for the benefit of war materials. The phosphorus paste that used to kill cockroaches now goes into incendiary bombs. A group of six articles on the war against insects, in the current issue of Industrial & Engineering Chemistry, makes these facts plain...
