Some Investigations on the Toxicology of Tin, with Special Reference to the Metallic Contamination of Canned Foods
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 May 2009
Extract
In July 1906 attention was drawn to the fact that a large number of tinned foods returned from the South African campaign were exposed for sale on the home markets. The majority of these foods were known to have been from five to seven years in tins, and the possession of this material afforded a rare opportunity for investigating the question of metallic contamination, and for determining how far such contamination was deleterious to the public health.
