Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the mortality of stone workers in the granite industry, offering a detailed investigation into the connection between granite dust inhalation and high tuberculosis mortality rates in this profession. Despite their superior physique, granite workers had a higher mortality rate than other industrial workers, a phenomenon that was most severe among those using pneumatic tools. The author argues that the cause is excessive exposure to granite dust in small particles, a factor that leads to a build-up of dust in the lungs over time. Initial research into the problem suggested that granite workers were more susceptible to tuberculosis and other respiratory diseases because they were exposed to infected dust, but the author posits that the dust exposure causes a condition of silicosis or pneumoconiosis that is distinct from tuberculosis and nontubercular in its origin. The book further explores factors such as race, family infection, and the nature of stone dust, with valuable insights from similar investigations into miners' phthisis (silicosis) in South Africa and Australia. The author's work not only sheds light on this specific industry but also raises important questions about the broader problem of dust inhalation in other sectors, emphasizing the urgent need for a deeper understanding of the risks involved and more effective prevention measures. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
