Excerpt from Lead Poisoning and Lead Absorption: The Symptoms, Pathology and Prevention, With Special Reference to Their, Industrial Origin and an Account of the Principal Processes Involving RiskProgress in the knowledge of the use of lead, the pathology of lead poisoning, and the means of preventing or mitigating the risk from it, has been rapid of late years, and has led to much legislative action in all civilized countries. The present is a fitting time, therefore, to take stock of the general position. We have both, in different ways, been occupied with the subject for several years past, the one administratively, and the other experimentally, in addition to the practical knowledge gained by examining weekly over two hundred lead-workers.The present treatise takes account mainly of our own persona experience, and of work done in this country, especially by members of the Factory Department of the Home Office, and certifying and appointed surgeons carrying out periodical medical examinations in lead factories.
