Title	The Working Environment and the Health of Workers in Bituminous Coal Mines, Nonferrous Metal Mines, and Nonferrous Metal Smelters in Utah;
Description	The field work of this study was started early July, 1939, and continued until the latter part of December. Occupational and medical histories, and physical and roentgenological examinations were made on 2939 men working in Bituminous coal mines, non-ferrous metal mines, or nonferrous metal smelters in Utah. Engineering studies were made in each plant to evaluate the working environment in various occupations by examining the nature and concentration of various types of dust, such as silica, lead, arsenic, and cadmium; studies of ventilation and humidity were carried out; and exposure to various gases, such as sulphur dioxide, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulphide, hydrogen cyanide, methane, and others; and methods and facilities for eliminating such hazards. Also a general sanitary survey was carried out on water supply, sewage disposal, milk sanitation, housing, and other data germane to the problem.
