Publisher's Synopsis
One of the first works to explore the health effects of lead poisoning, Thomas Percival's Observations and Experiments on the Poison of Lead is a landmark work of medical science. Drawing on his own research and the observations of others, Percival makes a compelling case for the dangers of lead and the need to regulate its use in manufacturing and construction. With meticulous attention to detail and a commitment to the health and well-being of the public, Percival's work paved the way for modern environmental and occupational health regulations.
