"Coal-tar Colors: A Sanitary And Medico-legal Investigation" explores the implications of using coal-tar derivatives in food and other consumer products. Authored by Theodor Weyl, this work delves into the sanitary and legal aspects surrounding these artificial colorings. The book examines the chemical properties of coal-tar dyes, their potential health risks, and the regulatory challenges they pose.
Weyl's investigation offers insights into the public health concerns of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, revealing a detailed analysis of the scientific evidence and legal debates of the time. This historical examination is valuable for those interested in the history of food regulation, public health policy, and the evolution of industrial chemistry. It serves as a crucial resource for understanding the origins of modern food safety standards.
