All public health is local. Revisiting the importance of local sanitation through the eyes of youth.

摘要

I SHALL ATTEMPT TO MAKE A survey of the history of factory hygiene, that is, of the hygiene of the plant and its installations as well as that of the work itself, especially of health safeguards in dangerous occupations, and also of the protection of miners.I realize fully that some other aspects of working conditions, such as the protection of women and children, the regulation of working hours and wages, have always been of much greater importance for public health and labor protection, because they protect the greatest number of working people in the most effective way. However, being a physician and industrial hygienist, I wish to confine myself to my own field, the hygiene of work.
