Chlorine Revolution: Water Disinfection and the Fight to Save Lives

by McGuire, Michael J
No customer reviews yet ISBN 9781583219201

This is the first book to tell the incredible true story of the first use of chlorine to disinfect a city water supply, in Jersey City, New Jersey, in 1908. This important book also corrects misinformation long-held in the historical record about who was responsible for this momentous event, giving overdue recognition to the true hero of the story-an unflagging champion of public health, Dr. John L. Leal.
