Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, written in the Victorian era, explores the use of anthracite coal in the home and its effects on human health. Written in 1868, this book comes from a time of great technological change and societal upheaval, as cities became industrialized and new technologies became commonplace. At that time, gas lighting was becoming increasingly common, and central heating was beginning to replace open fires. The author notes that anthracite coal was seen as more economical and efficient than wood or bituminous coal, and its use was becoming widespread in cities like Boston. They raise concerns over the potential dangers of carbon monoxide poisoning from the incomplete combustion of anthracite, and the potential for contamination of indoor air from organic pollutants. The author suggests that the use of anthracite coal in the home should be carefully managed to minimize these risks, and advocates for better ventilation and the use of stoves and furnaces that are properly designed and operated. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780282597429_0
