Lead poisoning and lead absorption : $b The symptoms, pathology and prevention, with special reference to their industrial origin, and an account of the principal processes involving risk

"Lead Poisoning and Lead Absorption" by Thomas M. Legge and Kenneth W. Goadby is an early 20th-century scientific investigation of lead poisoning, detailing its signs, disease progression, and ways to stop it, especially when it comes from factories. Throughout the book, the authors investigate the absorption of lead into the body and the dangers that workers in lead-using industries face. The book begins with key notes and introductions needed to understanding the book's structure and scientific goals, starting with the history of lead use and poisoning, including first mentions and studies that realized the impact of lead exposure. Early chapters describe how lead acts physically and chemically, including how it gets absorbed and what it does to the human body, leading to a more thorough look into lead poisoning in industrial settings. The theories shown are set to give proof and ideas linked to public health and safety at work.
