Honoring Dr. Alice Hamilton For Women's History Month
Recently saw a tweet by the Young Workers honoring Dr. Alice Hamilton (For Women's history month -- Alice Hamilton (NIOSH video 1988; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E75pST2QTEM&feature=colike). It still surprises us when we see a video on the pioneers in the industrial hygiene field, discussing issues we are still dealing with today. Dr. Hamilton was dealing with imigrant labor being mistreated similar to what we see today with undocumented/illegal aliens. Dr. Hamilton also was dealing with workers being exposed to various toxic dusts and then the workers developing various diseases caused by these exposures. Today we still see this happening as we've written about in our current newsletter (Toxic Dusts - Demolition Implications). When will we learn from our previous mistakes? When will we stop the exposures and the resulting illnesses? When will we start to care?
