The company has volunteered to
switch from use of sand containing
quartz (silica) to another abrasive.
Spiekerman said
According to medical reports,
workers breathing silica dust have
developed silicosis, a condition that
leads to a debilitating lung disease
linked to cancer
"It will be a very costly change,
but they have said they will not
hesitate to change." Spiekerman
said
Spiekerman said the company
also has made a verbal commitment
of using an emulsion to slow drying
of the soil in the plant's yard as
another measure in cutting down

people were Ix-ing tested with the
drug, which is the latest in a series of
55 compounds that the French
researchers have developed in an ef-
fort to find an anti viral agent that
would attack viruses similar to the
AIDS virus
A variety of other drugs are being
investigated in the I nited States and
abroad as possible AIDS treatments,
including one called Isoprmosine,
which has not yet tx-en approved by
the U S Food and Drug Adnunistra
To underscore the point, Cher
mann noted that the virus in the
young hemophiliac had been reduc
ed to such a low level by the drug
that doctors could no longer find the
virus in the boy 's blood
They knew the virus was still
there, however, because the body’s
blood cells were able to pass the in-
fection to other ceils in laboratory
tests
Officials in France have not yet
Chermann emphasized, however,
that the drug blocks reproduction of
the AIDS virus in the body, but does
not kill it Nor does the drug kill the

given widespread exposure in
February when it was described by
one of its developers. Jean-Claude
Chermann of Pasteur, at a meeting
in New York
At that time. Chermann reported
that the drug had caused the AIDS
virus to nearly disappear in the
blood of a young male hemophiliac
She insisted that despite the wor-
ding of the statement given to jour-
nalists. Hudson was not suffering
symptoms of the often deadly
disease at present
"He came to Pans to consult with
a specialist in this disease i AIDS)."
