Chloroform

$30

Chloroform is a clear colourless volatile liquid with a pleasant etheric odour. Itis mainly used in the production of chlorodifluoromethane (HCFC-22) which is used (in decreasing quantities) as a refrigerant and (increasingly) as a fluoropolymer feedstock. Chloroform may be released into the environment from HCFC-22 plant and from pulp and paper mills using chlorine-based chemicals for bleaching and disinfection purposes. It is estimated that about 90% of total chloroform emissions into the environment are natural in origin. Chloroform is also the principal by-product of water disinfectant processes such as chlorine-chloramine chlorine-chlorine and ozone-chlorine treatment. Levels vary widely depending upon concentrations of organic materials in the raw water and are also influenced by treatment method temperature and pH. This book evaluates the risk to human health and the environment posed by exposures to chloroform. Human data on its toxicity are limited but the liver is a key target organ in laboratory animals and likely to be so in humans.

Cholera, Chloroform, and the Science of Medicine by Vinten-Johansen, Peter; Brody, Howard; Paneth, Nigel; Rachman, Stephen; Rip, Michael; Zuck, David Edition IL

$43.49

The product of six years of collaborative research, this fine biography offers new interpretations of a pioneering figure in anesthesiology, epidemiology, medical cartography, and public health. It modifies the conventional rags to riches portrait of John Snow by synthesizing fresh information about his early life from archival research and recent studies. It explores the intellectual roots of his commitments to vegetarianism, temperance, and pure drinking water, first developed when he was a medical apprentice and assistant in the north of England. The authors argue that all of Snow’s later contributions are traceable to the medical paradigm he imbibed as a medical student in London and put into practice early in his career as a clinician: that medicine as a science required the incorporation of recent developments in its collateral sciences–chiefly anatomy, chemistry, and physiology–in order to understand the causes of disease. Snow’s theoretical breakthroughs in anesthesia were extensions of his experimental research in respiratory physiology and the properties of inhaled gases. Shortly thereafter, his understanding of gas laws led him to reject miasmatic explanations for the spread of cholera, and to develop an alternative theory in consonance with what was then known about chemistry and the physiology of digestion. Using all of Snow’s writings, the authors follow him when working in his home laboratory, visiting patients throughout London, attending medical society meetings, and conducting studies during the cholera epidemics of 1849 and 1854. The result is a book that demythologizes some overly heroic views of Snow by providing a fairer measure of his actual contributions. It will have an impact not only on the understanding of the man but also on the history of epidemiology and medical science.
