It deals with the involvement of scientists, particularly chemists, in pollution inquiries and considers the effects on the normal workings of the scientific community of scientists' participation in the adversary forums in which water and sewage policy was made. It discusses 19\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e ideas of decomposition, disease causation and purification and examines the gap between the abilities of science and the needs of society that developed as the existence of water-borne disease became increasingly clear. It also deals with the politicization of water bacteriology and the emergence of a technology of biological sewage treatment from a political context. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christopher Hamlin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0367362139\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367362133\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 640\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 1.29d","brand":"Christopher Hamlin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43944816705791,"sku":"9780367362133","price":59.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_73d7e8a0-689d-4465-a5b0-dd06c149cf11.jpg?v=1681505230","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/what-becomes-of-pollution-christopher-hamlin-9780367362133","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
