Book Description
Excerpt from The Hygiene of Air and Water: Being a Popular Account of the Effects of the Impurities of Air and Water, Their Detection, and the Modes of Remedying Them Mixture of several gases, two of which are constant in quantity, the others being variable. The two constant constituents are Oxygen and Nitrogen, in the proportions of 21 of the former to 79 of the latter. On Oxygen depend the active properties of air. It is necessary to the breathing of man and animals, its exclusion rapidly produces death, and it is the essential cause of many changes effected by the atmosphere. The variable constituents are watery vapour and carbonic acid gas. The quantity of the former varies from 2 per cent., and is regulated mainly by temperature. Carbonic acid is a heavy, highly poisonous gas, varying from 2 to 5 volumes in volumes of air.' Air, which contains 50 to 100 per volumes, is fatal to life; but in considerably less quantity'it is adverse to comfort and obnoxious to health. In addition to these ingredients, Ammonia, and a very energetic form of Oxygen, called Ozone, are present in'small quantities. This latter substance is' evolved when the electrical machine is in action, and is most readily prepared by placing a clean stick of Phosphorus, almost covered by distilled water, in a large.

Book Description
Originally published in 1987, this volume examines the ideals and realities of river use in 19th Century Britain and the failure of legal and technological remedies for river pollution. It deals with the involvement of scientists, particularly chemists, in pollution inquiries and considers the effects on the normal workings of the scientific community of scientists’ participation in the adversary forums in which water and sewage policy was made. It discusses 19th ideas of decomposition, disease causation and purification and examines the gap between the abilities of science and the needs of society that developed as the existence of water-borne disease became increasingly clear. It also deals with the politicization of water bacteriology and the emergence of a technology of biological sewage treatment from a political context.
