that one might retain about 5%, retain in the skeleton about
5% what it inhales, and I get an inhslation hazard representing
deposition in the skeleton of sbout the seme order of magnitude
as I obtained by making assumptions somewhat similar to those

whioh have just been discussed from the point of view of
indigestion,

I have a factor of difference of 5,

I believe

theese assusptions up here assum only exchangeable calcium

don't they?

Yan't that right, didn't you use a figura for

exchangeable caloium up here?
VOICE:

Yes.

WESTERN:

And the figure I had was to correspond more to the total amoumt
of caleium so on that basis the inhalation hasard is roughly

about 1/5 of that indicated here. We are talicing about the same
type of hasard so that the question of what is tolerance does
not enter in.

I might indicate also that if one begins to

ecnsider the inhalation hasard as being relatively nonimportant,
as one might if he finds a certain number of processes take
place, preventing the stuff from being picked up by plants.
Experiments of Dr. Larsen show that in time there is an
unexpected cessation of uptake so that the inhalation hazard
might become relatively important.

Then one also aight want to

consider the hazard due to Sx9?, It is commonly assumed that
what is inhaled ia in eufficiently emall particle to he soluble
and geta to the blood steam and is deposited in the bene,

Ye

don't have the factor of safety here/that wa have whon we talk
about it coming to the bedy through the focd
