Occupational Carcinogens

  • Chapter
Chemical Carcinogenesis and Mutagenesis I

Part of the book series: Handbook of Experimental Pharmacology ((HEP,volume 94 / 1))

Abstract

Bernardino Ramazzini (1633–1714) has, with good reason, been called the Father of Occupational Medicine. He was deeply moved by the appalling conditions under which many in his native Italy had to earn their living and made detailed observations of working conditions in a great range of occupations from cleaning out cesspits and other dirty trades to singers, nuns and notaries (Hunter 1978). He described the ailments suffered by many as a result of their callings, recommended measures for their prevention, and advised doctors when visiting workers in their homes to add another question to those recommended by Hippocrates over 2000 years earlier - What is your occupation? A translation of his book De Mortis Artificum Diatriba (Ramazzini 1713) has been published.
