Sewer Gas, and its Influence upon Health

Abstract

THERE is hardly a Corporation in the United Kingdom, we venture to say, to whose members sewer gas is not a hideous nightmare. It is the legacy of a bygone generation of hygienic enthusiasts, and is likely to prove the bête noir of many a succeeding generation of despairing sanitarians. Despite the brilliant achievements in the domain of hygiene of which the present century can justly be proud, the sewerage problem remains still a gordian knot the disentanglement of which seems as far off as ever.

Sewer Gas, and its Influence upon Health.

Treatise by H. A. Roechling. Pp. 224. (London: Biggs and Co., 1898.)
