Présentation de l'éditeur
United States drew public attention to this occupational disease during the closing months of 1915 and the early part of 1916. Most of the increase took place in seaports and tannery towns in the three States of New York, Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania. New York, for instance, reported more deaths from the malady in 1915 than had, previously occurred in any State in any single year since the Census Bureau began to give anthrax a separate place in the mortality statistics. In Massachusetts more cases were reported during the first six months of 1916 than in any preceding whole year since the infectious disease reporting law in that State went into effect. The relative importance of anthrax is shown by the fact that for every five deaths from lead poisoning reported in the United States registration area there is one death from anthrax, and that the total number of anthrax cases is about five times the number of fatalities. One Delaware physician was able to furnish, from his own practice, data on 48 cases treated within six years. During the same period a single Philadelphia hospital treated 32 cases, 6of which were fatal. In three years one State workmens compensation commission passed upon 30 claims arising from this occupational disease. Anthrax is primarily a disease of animals such as cattle and sheep, but is transmitted to man in a number of industrial pursuits. Included among those who have died of it in this country are hide and skin handlers and other tannery employees, longshoremen, wool1 Of information from scores of physicians, hospitals, and public officials in this country and Europe during the past five years, and of painstaking analysis by two faithful assistants, Anna Kalet and Solon de Leon, grateful acknowledgment is here made.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book's primary interest is the professional malady known as anthrax, a historically significant occupational disease. It explores a wide array of subjects related to its historical background, including the disease's causes, ways it spreads, and how it is treated, alongside relevant industrial contexts and professions where the disease is most prevalent, with an emphasis on international efforts undertaken to control and prevent the disease from spreading. A sign of the growing awareness of the risks this disease poses, this book demonstrates the need for increased knowledge about this disease, not only among workers but also among the medical community, who are the ones that frequently fail to correctly diagnose this condition. The depth of this book's research and analysis provides insights that will help readers better understand anthrax, its history, its impact on workers around the globe, and ongoing efforts to combat and control it. 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 9781331159797_0
