Greenlees contends that the air quality within these pioneering workplaces was a key contributor to the health of the wider communities of which they were a part. Such enclosed environments, where large numbers of people labored in close quarters, were ideal settings for the rapid spread of diseases including tuberculosis, bronchitis and pneumonia. When workers left the factories for home, these diseases were transmitted throughout the local population, yet operatives also brought diseases into the factory.

Emphasizing the importance of the peculiarities of place as well as employers balance of workers health against manufacturing needs, Greenleess pioneering book sheds light on the roots of contemporary environmentalism and occupational health reform. Her work highlights the complicated relationships among local business, local and national politics of health, and community priorities....2673565When the Air Became Important7521045https://www.gandhi.com.mx/when-the-air-became-important-9780813587974/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/3632690/db0f0e60-dd4e-45d2-b48a-8a22788d6f8f.jpg?v=638385654632870000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20199780813587974_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_In When the Air Became Important, medical historian Janet Greenlees examines the working environments of the heartlands of the British and American cotton textile industries from the nineteenth to the late twentieth centuries.
