Although poisonous substances have been a hazard for the whole of
human history, it is only with the development and large-scale
production of new chemical substances over the last two centuries
that toxic, manmade pollutants have become such a varied and
widespread danger. Covering a host of both notorious and
little-known chemicals, the chapters in this collection investigate
the emergence of specific toxic, pathogenic, carcinogenic, and
ecologically harmful chemicals as well as the scientific, cultural
and legislative responses they have prompted. Each study situates
chemical hazards in a long-term and transnational framework and
demonstrates the importance of considering both the natural and the
social contexts in which their histories have unfolded.
