HAZARDS OF TECHNOLOGIC ADVANCE

JULIUS B. RICHMOND M.D.

ELSEWHERE in this issue appears an article on hazards relating to the entrapment of children in refrigerators and their potentialities for obtaining release. This represents an excellent application of a developmental approach to a significant hazard. It also provides interesting and important data concerning reactions of children to a specific stressful situation.

This study points to a great need in our modern, industrial society. As technologic advances continue, it is well to evaluate these in relationship to potential hazards. As pediatricians we have a specific responsibility to point to hazards relating to children.

Industry too would do well to consider their responsibilities to society more specifically.
