Asphyxiation in Garages and Other Automobile Accidents

"Asphyxiation in Garages and Other Automobile Accidents," originally published in 1920, offers a historical perspective on the dangers associated with early automobile usage, particularly concerning carbon monoxide poisoning in enclosed spaces. Authored by the New York Bureau of Inspection, Division of Industrial Hygiene, this document provides insights into the risks associated with the nascent automotive industry and its impact on public health. The report details findings and recommendations aimed at preventing asphyxiation and other accidents related to automobiles.

This study serves as a valuable resource for understanding the historical context of automotive safety regulations and the evolving awareness of industrial hazards. It also sheds light on the early challenges faced by both the public and regulatory bodies in adapting to the increasing presence of automobiles in everyday life. A fascinating look at a bygone era of automotive history and industrial safety.
