Summary edit

Description A worker on the assembly line of a Connecticut hat manufacturing plant. is working with colorizing agents as he produces felt hats. Note that the man is not wearing a protective breathing mask, gloves, or goggles. Working as he was with steam, and processed animal fur, airborne remnants of mercury nitrate could have easily been liberated, which he would then readily inhale. Inhalation of airborne mecury componds would have eventually lead to neurologic pathology, due to toxic heavy metal mercurialism. The image was published in the ”Public Health Bulletin”, No. 263, 1941, in an article entitled, ”Mercurialism and its Control in the Felt-Hat Industry"
