Abstract
Industrial hygiene has been defined as the science of the preservation of the health of the industrial worker. Although it has been known from ancient times that ill health and premature death were often associated with the nature of man's livelihood, it is only in recent years that studies have clearly indicated that the health of workers engaged in industry may be affected by the materials and processes used. For these reasons one of the important phases of industrial hygiene is the study of the relationship between the working environment and its effect on health and methods of control. This phase of industrial hygiene may aptly be termed industrial sanitation, and is a function coming within the province of the engineer. It is the purpose of this paper to discuss the role of the engineer in industrial sanitation studies, and to indicate the trends in this field of public health.
