Industrial Poisoning from Fumes, Gases and Poisons of Manufacturing Processes

This volume offers a thorough, early‑20th‑century look at the hazards that arise when factories turn raw materials into fumes, gases and chemical poisons. Drawing on the author’s experience as both a physician and a factory‑hygiene official, it blends medical insight with technical description of the manufacturing steps that generate toxic exposures. The translation brings together a wealth of continental research, weaving it into a single, readable guide.

Organized into three sections, the work first catalogues the various industries and processes where poisoning occurs, then explains the pathological signs and symptoms that workers may exhibit, and finally outlines practical preventive measures and regulatory approaches. Detailed diagrams and illustrations support the text, while extensive footnotes point listeners toward further studies. Whether you are a student of occupational health, a safety officer, or simply curious about the history of industrial disease, the book provides a solid foundation for understanding and managing chemical risks in the workplace.
