HOYT BROS. COMPANY, KATONAH WHY BAD AIR IS BAD PUBLIC HEALTH HINTS Prepared Each Week F.or the Readers of This Newspaper by the New York State Department of Health. > | T is hard to get away from tho idea that when we feel uncomfortable in ' | a badly Ventilated r6om it is because of some harmful gases in the air we breathe. Careful experiments by some of the ablest physiologists in England, 'Germany and the United States and more recently by the NeWYofR\ Slllte Commission dfc Ven'tUa'tion in New York city have ^m^^^&im^^^^^TiSSiS:' *' \' ' If a group of men are shut up in a confined space they soon begin to feel tired and uncomfortable and disinclined to active physical or mental 1 work. Two sorfs of things happen in such a room—first, the OXYGEN of the air iB used up, and CAJJBON DIOXIDE is increased by breath ing, and ODOB is given' off from bodieB and clothing; second, the TEJ^ft&AlTTJBlS. and MOISTURE in the air increase since human bodies give off heat and moisture. Is it the chemical changes or the heat whiph causes the bad effects? This question is easily answered. If the. jnen stay in flw room, but breathe fresh, pure air from outside through a tube, they feel as bad BB ever. If they, breathe the air in the room, but are KEPT cool by brine pipes on the walls or by an electric fan in the room, they become quite comfortable. It is OVERHEATING which causes the principal effects of had air. The chemical changes in any ordinary room never reach the point where they do any harm. AlmoBt every one has heard of the Black Hole of Calcutta, where 146 Englishmen were thrust by the sepoys Into a tiny dungeon with only two Small windows. Next morning all hut twenty were dead. Even here, However, according to the symptoms aB described by the survivors, the unhappy victims died from the great HEAT, not from lack of air to brea'the. \ Studieg. carried out this jrear by the Key York State Commission on VentilatioriJiavje' confirmed all the easier studies jjilpngjhis line. ^Scores' &$^tyi&39t>vb -atjhe College , o £the .City!of .Ney Xork, and- as Jong as they wereikept^cooLthe most. xsareful .physiological and psychqlogfcal studies, have failed to -show any laaa effects. On the other harjd,iwh'en .the .room was allowed-to heat up, aa fluch a room ordinarily would, their'body temperature and pulse and blood pressure were affected, 1 and, although t they could do as much work when pressed, they would not do nearly so much if they had a choice in the matter. Four men kept for eight hours a day for a week a \t 68 degrees did 15 PER CENT more work than when' the room was at 75 degrees. Jn summer we have to stand the heat as best we may, afld our ..bodies become more, op .less .used to it. No end of harm is done in winter, how ever, by OVERHEATED houses and schools. They make us feel DULL and LAZY. 'They upset the heat regulating system of our bodies more or less, and they probably play an important part in making us easy victims to,colds and pneumrinia and bronchitis and tuberculosis. In overcrowded rooms the chance of direct spread of communicable disease by- mouth spray and the like is increased, and -where' the air is stagnant we miss the, stimulus which moving air gives to the body. Every one ndyj' knows what wonders fresh, cool, moving air works in fHe ''dur5 £'dr! TObefciiKsis. , • The wise thing is io TAKE THE FRESH AIR TREATMENT first. Kee£ the temperature of living and work rooms BELOW 70 DEGREE^ e£di Bleep with OPEN WINDOWS /ill winter long, and the microbes'will'^id .ii hard to gain a foothold.
