This ebook was once digitized and reprinted from the collections of the collage of California Libraries. It used to be made out of electronic photographs created throughout the libraries’ mass digitization efforts. The electronic photos have been wiped clean and ready for printing via computerized approaches. regardless of the cleansing approach, occasional flaws should be current that have been a part of the unique paintings itself, or brought in the course of digitization.

With one exception (Jakhi et al. 2), all reported cases of phossy jaw have resulted from occupational exposure to white phosphorus fumes/vapors and/or dust. Because white phosphorus oxidizes rapidly, phosphorus fumes/vapors may contain phosphoric oxide and phosphorus oxide, in addition to phosphorus (Heimann 1946; Hughes et al. 1962; Ward 1928). In a study of workers exposed to white phosphorus for intermediate durations in three fireworks plants, 2 of 44 workers developed definite cases of phossy jaw (Ward 1928).

Information on hepatotoxicity after exposure to airborne white phosphorus is limited to an occupational exposure study. No alterations in liver function tests were observed in workers chronically exposed to an unreported amount of airborne white phosphorus (Hughes et al. 1962). No studies were located regarding hepatic effects in animals after inhalation exposure to white phosphorus. White Phosphorus Smoke.
