PROPOSED PROHIBITION OF LEAD PAINTS IN GREAT BRITAIN.1 The enactment of a law prohibiting the importation, sale, or use of any paint material containing more than 5 per cent of its dry weight of a soluble lead compound is the principal recommendation of the British departmental committee appointed to investigate the danger of the use of paints containing lead to the health of persons engaged in painting buildings. The committee was appointed January 20, 1911, and after extensive investigations issued its report on May 5, 1915- This report, however, bears the date of November, 1914. Besides the chairman, the committee consisted of two members of Parliament, the medical inspector of factories, and two representatives each of employing painters and of working painters. The appointment of this committee was prompted by the numerous cases of lead poisoning among painters and the belief that many of them could be prevented by the same careful regulation or restriction which has proved effective in preventing lead poisoning in factories. The committee's report is based upon the evidence of 118 witnesses. of whom 93 were selected by the committee as representatives of employers, painters, paint and paint material manufacturers, consultants to paint makers, chemists, architects, physicians, and others with special knowledge of ship and bridge painting and lead poisoning. The remaining 25 witnesses were brought forward by the whitelead corroders' section of the London Chamber of Commerce, and included a certain number from France, Germany, Austria, Belgium, Holland, and Switzerland. The report is printed in a volume of 134 pages, summarizing and analyzing the evidence and presenting the recommendations of the committee. A second volume giving the testimony of the witnesses in full is yet to be issued. The committee recognized that in connection with such a restriction as it recommends it would be necessary to exempt specifically certain classes of colors, such as those used by artists, and that it would be desirable to authorize the granting of exemptions applicable only to special branches of the painting industry, where it could be shown to the satisfaction of the home secretary that the use of lead paints containing more than 5 per cent of soluble lead can not as yet be dispensed with. In such cases it is considered desirable that the home secretary be given power to enforce adequate proventive measures, namely, abolition of dry rubbing down, provision for overalls, lunch rooms, cloak rooms, elevators, medical examinations, and the like, all of which should be made compulsory and should be enforced by adequate inspection.
