The authors have already reported the results of epidemiological studies of SMON in the town of Yubara, Japan.Recently, the Ministry of Health and Welfare ordered pharmaceutical companies to stop production and sale of all drugs containing chinoform, since it was revealed by the Committee on SMON that attack rates of SMON could be related to ingestion of chinoform.The authors compared the attack rate of persons who had taken chinoform with that of persons who had not.It was noted that the morbidity of gastrointestinal diseases and allergic diseases among SMON patients was higher than that of the control group.Results are as follows:1. SMON patients had not taken chinoform at home.2. SMON patients usually had taken less medication for their gastrointestinal diseases than the control group, in spite of a higher morbidity of gastrointestinal diseases among them than that of the control group.3. Accordingly, the increased attack rate of SMON might be related to administration of chinoform while in the hospital and not related to ingestion at home.4. Chinoform is a very popular drug. For this reason careful attention must be given to dosage and method of administration as well as indications to determine relationship in the etiology of SMON.5. Careful attention should also be given to the physical conditions of patients being treated with chinoform.6. If persons in the control group were subjected to a detailed investigation there is some possibility many may be found to be using chinoform contained medications.

In the previous report, the author demonstrated, using two kinds of questionnaire, that baggage conductors were faced with health problems resulting from their evening and night works and from poor working environmental conditions such as noise, vibration and shock.<BR>In this report, the author wants to show another research in which noise, vibration and shock in the caboose were measured in order to compare the environmental conditions with the results of health questionnaires.<BR>The results are as follows ;<BR>1. There were measured much more times of shock in the caboose than in the baggage car of the express train. Model "YO" of caboose had twice the shock in frequency of Model "KOKIFU" of caboose.<BR>2. As to the strength of shock, more powerful shock was measured in Model "YO" than in Model "KOKIFU" or in the baggage car of the express train.<BR>3. The vibration in these two kinds of caboose and in the baggage car exceeded the "allowable limit of vibration as a vehicle" reported by Oshima, and that of Model "YO" was even beyond the "limit of uncomfortable vibration" reported by. Meister.<BR>4. As to noise, the baggage car of the express train had lower level of noise than these two kinds of caboose. The noise of these two kinds of car were beyond the threshold limit of noise in industry.<BR>5. The results of the environmental investigation showed that baggage conductors on board the caboose pointed out correctly their poor working conditions in the answer to the questionnaire.
