CHAPTER XII
PREVENTIVE MEASURES AGAINST LEAD
POISONING
Were there nothing else to consider but escape of lead fume from
a pot or bath of molten metal, obviously hooding over of the bath and
removal of the fume from the atmosphere of the workroom would be
unnecessary until this temperature was reached. Usually, however,
the bath is kept standing exposed to the air, and the oxide which
forms on the surface has to be skimmed off periodically, and
whenever the ladle is emptied a small cloud of dust arises. Or at
times, in certain processes, chemical interaction takes place in the
bath, as in the dipping of hollow-ware articles previously cleaned in
hydrochloric acid, with evolution of fume of volatile chloride of lead.
Any vessel, therefore, of molten metallic lead in which skimming is
necessary, or in which chemical action gives rise to fume, requires a
hood and exhaust shaft, even although the temperature is little, if at
all, above the melting-point—unless, indeed, a separate exhaust can
be arranged for the removal of the dust immediately above the point
where the skimmings are deposited.
Of many samples of dust collected in workrooms where there are
baths of molten lead, it is impossible to say definitely how much of
the lead present is due to fume, and how much to dust. Thus, a
person tempering the tangs of files was attacked by plumbism, and a
sample of dust collected from an electric pendent directly over the
pot, at a height of 4 feet from the ground, was found to contain 15·6
per cent. of metallic lead. Similarly, a sample taken above a bath for
tempering railway springs contained 48·1 per cent. metallic lead[1].
And, again, a sample collected from the top of the magazine of a
linotype machine contained 8·18 per cent. Such analyses point to
the necessity of enclosing, as far as possible, the sources of danger
—either the fume or the dust, or both. Determination of the melting-
point of the molten mass will often help in deciding whether there is
risk of fume from the pot, and, if there is not (as in the sample of dust
from the linotype machine referred to), will direct attention to the
sources of dust in the room. Proceeding on these lines, S. R.
Bennett[2], using a thermo-electric pyrometer which had been
previously standardized and its rate of error ascertained, and
checking the results in some cases by a mercury-in-glass
thermometer (the bulb of which was protected by metal tubing),
determined the temperature of the various pots and baths of molten
lead used in the Sheffield district. As was anticipated, temporary
cessation of work, stirring up of metal, recoking of furnaces, and
other causes, produced fluctuations of temperatures from minute to
minute in the same pot, and in its different parts. The compensated
pyrometer used gave for file-hardening pots a maximum of 850° C.,
and a minimum of 760° C., the average mean working temperature
being about 800° C. The variations of temperature of lead used for
tempering tangs of files and rasps was found to be high, and largely
unrestricted from a practical standpoint. The maximum was 735° C.,
and the minimum 520° C., the average mean working temperature
being 650° to 700° C., varying more than this within a few hours in
the same pot. Spring tempering is carried out at some comparatively
constant temperature between a maximum of nearly 600° C. and a
minimum of 410° C., depending on the kind of steel and the purpose
for which the steel is to be employed. Generally, the temperature
required rises as the percentage of carbon in the steel is diminished.
As these baths are larger than file-hardening pots, the temperature
range is higher at the bottom than at the top unless well stirred up.
Some lead pots are set in one side of a flue, and the temperature in
the mass is then greater on the furnace side. From further
observation of these pots during experiments, he was inclined to
believe that the lead did not volatilize directly into the atmosphere, as
heated water does, but that the particles of coke, fused oil, etc.,
which rise from the surface, act as carriers of the rapidly oxidized
lead particles which cling to them.
Similar experiments were carried out in letterpress printing works.
The average temperature was 370° C. in the stereo pots, and in the
linotype pots at work 303° C. Scrap lead melting-pots when hottest
registered 424° C., but registered as low as 310° C., according to the
amount of scrap added, the state of the fire underneath, etc. The
best practical working temperature depends largely on the
composition of the metal used. That at some factories is the same
for stereo drums as for lino pots—viz., 81·6 per cent. lead, 16·3 per
cent. antimony, and 2·0 per cent. tin, added to harden the lead. On
the other hand, some printers use a higher percentage of antimony
in the lino than in the stereo metal. Lead melts at 325° C., and
antimony at 630° C., but by adding antimony to lead up to 14 per
cent. the melting-point is reduced at an almost uniform rate to 247°
C., after which further addition of antimony raises the melting-point.
This explains why temperatures as low as 290° C. are practicable for
linotype pots. The molten eutectic has a specific gravity of about
10·5, whereas the cubic crystals average 6·5 only; therefore in these
pots the latter float on the top, and excess of antimony is to be
expected in the skimmings or on the surface.
Administration of certain sections of the Factory and Workshop
Act, 1901, would be simplified were there a ready means available
for determining the extent of contamination of the air—especially of
Section 1, requiring the factory to be ventilated so as to render
harmless, as far as practicable, all gases, vapours, dust, or other
impurities, generated in the course of the manufacturing process,
that may be injurious to health; of Section 74, empowering an
inspector to require a fan or other means if this will minimize
inhalation of injurious fumes or dust; of many regulations having as
their principal object removal of dust and fumes; and of Section 75,
prohibiting meals in rooms where lead or other poisonous substance
is used, so as to give rise to dust or fumes. Unfortunately, owing to
the difficulty hitherto of accurate collection, only a very few
determinations of the actual amount of lead dust and fume present in
the atmosphere breathed have been made. This lends peculiar value
to a series of investigations by G. Elmhirst Duckering, which have
thrown much light on the amount of lead fume present in the air of a
tinning workshop, and the amount of lead dust in the air during
certain pottery processes, and the process of sand-papering after
painting. Incidentally, also, they help to determine the minimal daily
dose of lead which will set up chronic lead poisoning[3]. Aspirating
the air at about the level of the worker’s mouth for varying periods of
time, he determined the amount of lead in the fume, or in the dust,
per 10 cubic metres of air, and from knowledge of the time during
which inhalation took place he calculated the approximate quantity
inhaled per worker daily. We have summarized some of his
conclusions in the table on pp. 204, 205:
Duckering’s experiments as to the presence of fumes containing
compounds of lead in the atmosphere breathed were carried out in a
workshop for the tinning of iron hollow-ware with a mixture consisting
of half lead and half tin. The process of manufacture and the main
sources of lead contamination in the air (knowledge arrived at from
these experiments) are explained on p. 59. As the result of
laboratory experiments designed to show the effect of the violent
escape of vapour produced below the surface of molten metal in
causing contamination of the air, and the nature of the contaminating
substances, he was able to conclude that the chemical action of the
materials (acid and flux) used, and subsequent vaporization of the
products of this action, was a much more important factor than the
mechanical action of escaping vapour. Subsequently, experiments
carried out on factory premises gave the results which are expressed
in the table as to the relative danger, from lead, to (a) a tinner using
an open bath; (b) a tinner working at a bath provided with a hood
and exhaust by means of a furnace flue; and (c) the nature and
extent of air contamination caused by the operation of wiping excess
of metal (while still in a molten state) from the tinned article. In all
three experiments aspiration of air was made slowly: it was
maintained at the rate of 3 to 4 cubic feet an hour in the first
experiment for between seven and eight hours; in the second for
twenty-eight to twenty-nine hours; and in the third for twenty-four to
twenty-five hours. The person engaged in tinning at the open bath
was shown to be exposed to much more danger than one working at
a hooded bath, while the wiper was exposed to even more danger
than the tinner using an open bath, since not only was he inhaling
fume from the hot article, but also fibre to which considerable
quantities of metallic lead and tin adhered.
Analysis of samples of dust collected in different parts of the
workroom bore out the conclusions derived from analysis of the
fumes. Thus, samples collected from ledges at varying heights
above the tinning bath containing the mixture of tin and lead
contained percentages of soluble lead (lead chloride) in striking
amount as compared with samples collected at points in the same
room remote from any source of lead fume, while the insoluble lead
present, as was to be expected from the fact that it consisted of lead
attached to particles of tow floating in the air, was less variable.
