These and other symptoms of a kindred na- ture indicated that something war, wrong, but just what the trouble entu- ally was, constituted a problem. lenowirrg the elisets of benzol poison- ing, investigations were made by phy sicians from ,the Ontario 'Dept. of Health, in plants where this conunod-- ity. vas used, One o£ --the first .tests consisted in eenaking`an examination of the blood of the persons working there, to see if the -amount 'ef red and white corpuseles were up to' the stan- dard, In nearly every case, where the worker had been submitted' to the fumes of benzol for e, considerable length. of time, there ,was a diniinu- 'tion in the white blood count resulting in the syinptonls already mentioned. lust how many people in the province are subjected' to benzol fumes has not been determined up to the present, but at any rate, there is definite proof that the poisoning;. from this source constitutes, a health -hazard, the'in- jurious effects of which cannot be minimized. It might be opportune to mention a't this point that benzol is very ea. tive solvent' for, rubber; It is e#ficient and economical in all trades in which t'ubher has to be used. Its only. two olisadeaift"ages, and' both are fernrid- able, are that the fumes are poisonous and; highly inflammable. It , will, therefore, be seen at ogee that meas Imes have to be taken to control the fumes of henzel and quickly, and effi- ciently remove the from workshops and ' factories where people are em- ployed. A few days ago I visited a large canning factory ,in this province Where benzol is used in the-manafac- ture of rubber rings for the lids of airtight cans, Recently one or, two of .the workers employed in this In- dustry died "and the cause of death was attributed to benzol. poisoning.
