Excerpt from Disinfection and the Preservation Food: Together With an Account of the Chemical Substances Used as Antiseptics and Preservatives
Medical publications, and, notwithstanding the rapid development of Sanitary Science in this country, there does not exist at the present time, in the English language, any book which deals exclusively with the composition of Disinfectants.
The present volume may, therefore, supply a want which has been felt, not only by the chemist and bacteriologist, but also by all those who, like medical officers and borough surveyors, are concerned with the practical work of Disinfection.
Owing to the attention which has been given to bacteriological science during the last ten years, the methods of Disinfection are now being reviewed under the more exact conditions which this knowledge has rendered possible. The time is not far distant when the importance of thorough disinfection of all suspected areas will be fully realised by local authorities, and when all such work will be entrusted to specially qualified men, instead of being regarded as the subsidiary duty of the inspector of nuisances. The Sanitary Institute of Great Britain has for some years insisted that the duties of a Sanitary Inspector are such as to necessitate a consider able amount of practical experience and scientific knowledge. If, as at present, the proper carrying out of the work of Disinfection forms part of their duties, the responsibility of such men is considerably augmented.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a comprehensive examination and summation of the state of disinfection knowledge in the late 19th century. It begins with an examination of the history of disinfection practices as they were understood by the author, from primitive concepts to more contemporary scientific methods. It goes on to discuss both physical and chemical means of disinfection, with detailed chapters on thermal, mechanical, and chemical methods. The book then branches off into other areas of disinfection, including applications of disinfection for food preservation and the use of disinfectants for personal hygiene. The text benefits from the author's evident practical experience in public health applications of chemistry and hygiene. In all, the volume represents a comprehensive and practical survey of the subject of disinfection as it stood at the close of the 19th century, with a focus on the practical applications of this developing science to public health and everyday life.
