Synopsis

This landmark study of the hazards of industrial dust exposure was a turning point in American public health policy, and remains a foundational work in occupational medicine to this day. Based on extensive field research and statistical analysis, Hoffman's report exposed the epidemic of lung disease among granite-stone workers in the United States, and laid the groundwork for the first comprehensive regulations to protect worker health and safety in industrial settings. Whether you are a historian of medicine, a public health advocate, or simply interested in the social and ethical dimensions of industry and labor, The Problem of Dust Phthisis is a must-read book.
