Synopsis
Excerpt from Handbook of Practical Hygiene
The lack Of a convenient handbook for the guidance Of students in the sanitary analysis Of air, water, soil. And the principal food materials, and in testing the ventilation of buildings, is my apology for the prepa ration Of this little work. There are several excellent handbooks in German that cover about the same field, as well as a number of general treatises on hygiene in English that contain some of the methods incorporated in this work, but there is no short and concise' labora tory guide, in the English language, that satisfactorily meets the wants of the student in practical hygiene.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book sets out to be a practical guide that can be used in the field as much as in the lab for the analysis of air, soil, water, and food, with a section also on ventilation and heating. It was written by the author as they felt there was a lack of clear, concise laboratory guides that met the needs of students in practical hygiene. It is intended primarily as a companion for use alongside theoretical works and for that reason, the author has omitted subjects like food analysis and the examination of clothing, as they believed these to be too difficult and specialized for students at that time. Instead, the author has concentrated on explaining more routine methods such as potassium permanganate tests, and those for the determination of hardness, chlorin, and organic matter in water. The book has retained considerable relevance to this day as although some of the methods have since been simplified through the introduction of processes such as the Nessler process and the Wanklyn method of distillation, the underlying principles remain the same. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780265052709_0
