4.9/5 (15941 ratings)

Description:Excerpt from Anthrax as an Occupational Disease A sudden and startling increase in the number of illnesses and deaths from anthrax in the United States drew public attention to this occupational disease during the closing months of 1915 and the early part of 1916. Most of the increase took place in seaports and tannery towns in the three States of New York, Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania. New York, for instance, reported more deaths from the malady in 1915 than had, previously occurred in any State in any single year since the Census Bureau began to give anthrax a separate place in the mortality statistics. In Massachusetts more cases were reported during the first six months of 1916 than in any preceding whole year since the infectious disease reporting law in that State went into effect. The relative importance of anthrax is shown by the fact that for every five deaths from lead poisoning reported in the United States registration area there is one death from anthrax, and that the total number of anthrax cases is about five times the number of fatalities. One Delaware physician was able to furnish, from his own practice, data on 48 cases treated within six years. During the same period a single Philadelphia hospital treated 32 cases, 6 of which were fatal. In three years one State workmen's compensation commission passed upon 30 claims arising from this occupational disease. Anthrax is primarily a disease of animals such as cattle and sheep, but is transmitted to man in a number of industrial pursuits.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
