Dear i.ir. 'Nashburn:
Ir. answer to your inquiry as to the effect of street dust on the health of
indivuals living along dusty streets, especially on str,ets whcre the traffic
is heavy; It is my opinion that the breathing of this dust over a p.riod of time
has a defi_ite bearing on the health of these individuals.
Although no specific diseases can bt s.:id to be caused by street dust alone, it is
generally accepted that dust inhaled into the respiratory tract for continued
periods a•Lil produce a chronic irritation of the nasal pa.,sage and lungs, ^ud may
predispose to certain infections such as cos:non colds, sort. tl:rout, pneu:.,onfa an:
probacly tuberculosis.
Th�rc ha- bees no scientific oroof oi' this statc_.cnt but it is a ger.;:rally accepted
jopialon of .aost of the 'ledicul profession.
Respectfully yours,
Russell E. 'Teague,
