PLAINDEALER PHOTO Home Should Be "Poison-Proof" Children under 5 are the most frequent victims of accidental poisonings. I Statistics show that one child in thirty-eight under five years 'of age will be the victim of such an accident this year. And these are poor odds. To avoid such an accident, "poison-proof your home. Here's how: r- Accept the fact that chiltdren are curious. They will eat or drink anything regardless of its flavor. --Keep household cleaning products out of the sight and reach of children, preferably in a locked cabinet or closet. If you must leave a room even briefly, remove poisonous product containers to a safe spot. --Never put a poison or toxic substance in a container originally designed for food -- a milk bottle, cup, soft - drink bottle or cereal box, for example. --Store medicines apart from other household products. --Label everything. Don't depend on memory for identification. --Always turn the light on when giving or taking medicine at night. And read the label. --Since children tend to imitate adults, avoid taking medicines in their presence. --Never call medicine "candy" to deceive children. When left alone, children may locate the bottle, and eat or drink the contents. --Clean out your medicine cabinet periodically. Destroy old medicines by flushing them down the jdrain. Then rinse the container in water and discard it. To prevent an accidental poisonings you need a sense of responsibility and an awareness of possible hazards. RICHARD S. JOOSTEN . Richard S.

THIS WEEK'S HELPFULHINt: A wise housewife will always wash the top of a can before opening it with a can opener. POLLUTION AND HEALTH Hippocrates, about 400 years before the birth of Christ,, was perhaps the first man to recognize air and water as potential carriers of disease. , "Whoever wishes to investigate medicine properly*', he said, "should consider the seasons of the year, the wifids and the waters iri relation to health and disease." Despite this admonition, man continued to dump his wastes into the water and air unaware that these actions had any bearing on the plagues and epidemics which periodically swept the countryside killing thousands and thousands of people. i There was a time, in fact, when cholera reached epidemic proportions in the United States. Finally, someone noticed that the disease tended to spread along river towns, moving downstream from one community to the next. Then water treatment was introduced and epidemics of this type almost disappeared. After World War n, however, it was discovered that conventional water treatment does not kill viruses such as the one which causes hepatitis. Ariel, more recently there has been some evidence which points to a link between polluted water and cancer. One study, for example, showed cancer death rates in communities with a municipal water system to be generally lower than in those without a water treatment system. Other disease, such as dysentry and influenza, are known to be carried in water supplies which have not been sufficiently treated. In Illinois, nearly 600 small communities dump untreated sewage into our streams. This creates a potential breeding ground for disease. Studies have shown that all streams in Illinois are polluted to varying degrees and most streams in the state have bacterial contents in excess of the level considered safe for body contact. Air pollution can also cause serious health problems. It may worsen existing illnesses or may contribute indirectly to serious disease by weakening a persons' resistance by gradually damaging his respiratory system. A recent study shows that the chances of a man between 50 and 70 years old dying of a respiratory disease are doubled if he lives in a polluted area. It also indicates that in iny given year, the death rate in a polluted area is 20 percent higher than in a location with purer air. Moreover, the number of people dying frpm respiratory diseases is doubling every five years. In 1963, during a 15-day period of intense air pollution in the eastern part of the country, over 400 people in New York City alone died as a result of that pollution. In 1952, a dense shroud of air pollution enveloped London, England, accounting for 4,000 deaths in just five days. While these are extreme cases, a 1963 report of the staff of the Senate Subcommittee on Air and Water Pollution indicates that prolonged exposure to even low levels of air pollution may have serious health effects. It concludes that over a period of time a person who inhales only mild pollution may accumulate enough poisons to result in disastrous health problems. In the Chicago area, it has been found that percentages of respiratory disease increase in proportion to how close a man lives to the industrial Loop area. Figures show that the death rate for males from pneumonia are over 200 percent higher in the Loop area than in suburban communities. The rate for cancer is 43 percent higher in the industrial area. Air pollution, does have a drastic effect on the health and welfare of the citizens. A study carried onattheChicago Medical school exposed .hamsters to a combination of benzopyrene and iron oxide dust -two common air pollutants. All of the animals developed cancer. Similarly, a specially equipped truck was parked for six weeks at New York's Herald Square. It sucked in thousands of cubic feet of airland ran it through filters. At the end of six weeks, scientists scraped a thick substance from the filters and "painted" it on mice. Within several months, 90 percent of the mice developed cancer. While these experiments cannot prove definitely that air pollution has the same effect on humans, statistics bear out the fact thatT respiratory diseases are on the increase along with a rise in the amount of poisons in the air. In 1962, some 27,000 deaths in the United States were due to chronic respiratory disease, while such afflictions were contributory factors in 43,000 other deaths. In addition, there are millions of people in this country now ill with some type of respiratory disease. In fact, one in ten of those persons drawing Social Security disability benefits lists a respiratory disease as the reason. Although some communities have recognized the problems inherent in air pollution and WED., AUG., 14,» 1968 - PLAINDEALER are trying to solve them, many * Many things we miss also* people continue to be unaware make us happier or healthier-- that the air they breathe may be in spite of our feelings at the slowly killing them. time.
