Pathologist and pioneer of industrial worker safety Alice Hamilton studied the dangers of lead poisoning in many industries. Based on her studies, Hamilton published investigative reports, like this one, on lead in the work environment. In this report, Hamilton and US Department of Labor statistician Charles Verrill presented their research on laborers in the printing trade. These workers, which included adults and children, were exposed to lead fumes, lead dust, and other poisons.
