Book Summary
In "The Great Lead Water Pipe Disaster," Werner Troesken looks at a long-running
environmental and public health catastrophe: 150 years of lead pipes in local
water systems and the associated sickness, premature death, political inaction,
and social denial. The harmful effects of lead water pipes became apparent
almost as soon as cities the world over began to install them. Doctors and
scientists noted cases of acute illness and death attributable to lead in public
water beginning in the middle of the nineteenth century, and an editorial in the
"New York Herald" called for the city to study the matter after a bizarre
illness made headlines in 1868.
