Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into a range of topics related to the living conditions and social challenges faced by tenement dwellers in New York City during the late 19th century. It explores the significant need for parks and playgrounds in densely populated tenement districts, highlighting the positive impact these spaces have on the physical and mental well-being of residents. The author also examines the prevalence of prostitution as a tenement house evil, emphasizing the devastating effects it has on families and communities, and proposes measures to address this issue. Additional discussions focus on the impact of policy, a form of gambling, on tenement dwellers, and the negative consequences it has on their financial stability and moral well-being. This book provides valuable insights into the living conditions and social challenges faced by tenement dwellers in New York City, offering a historical perspective on the importance of urban planning, social welfare, and community development. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the critical issue of tenement housing in New York City at the turn of the 20th century. The author provides a detailed examination of the living conditions faced by working-class families in these overcrowded buildings, highlighting the lack of light, ventilation, and sanitation. The book delves into the history of tenement reform efforts in the city, tracing the evolution of legislation and the challenges encountered in improving these structures. The author meticulously details the design flaws of the ubiquitous "dumb-bell tenement" and its impact on the health and well-being of residents. He also analyzes the complex dynamics between landlords, tenants, and city officials, revealing the tensions that arose in attempting to implement necessary changes. The book's insightful analysis underscores the importance of considering both the needs of the tenants and the financial realities of landlords when seeking solutions to the challenges of urban housing.

Paperback. Condición: New. The USEPA's ambient water quality criteria (AWQC) for cyanide were developed in 1984. Recently, however, concerns have arisen that the AWQC for cyanide have been problematic to implement and may not accurately reflect either the toxic forms or bioavailable concentrations of cyanide in water, sediments, and tissues of aquatic organisms. Also, the cyanide criteria typically have been implemented based on total cyanide concentrations rather than the free cyanide concentrations that formed the basis of the criteria calculations. New knowledge on cyanide toxicity, cyanide speciation and its measurement, and the relative toxicity of bioavailable cyanide species suggested that a re-evaluation of the aquatic toxicity data and chemistry that serve as the basis of the current national criteria is warranted. In response to these concerns, studies sponsored by the Water Environment Research Foundation (WERF) evaluated the formation and fate of cyanide in municipal wastewater effluents. Kavanaugh et al. (2003) evaluated the reliability of several analytical methods for measurement of cyanide species at low (ppb) concentrations, along with studies to evaluate the sources, transport, and fate of cyanide species in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and receiving waters. Results indicated that potentially toxic forms of cyanide can be generated in WWTPs from several chemical processes, including dissociation of thiocyanate by chlorination or UV disinfection, chlorination in the presence of residual ammonia, nitrosation, and photolysis of ferrocyanate. Models were developed for predicting the fate of these compounds in surface waters downstream of WWTP effluents to establish where organisms might be most at risk from cyanide exposure. While implementation of these results could assist in the development of site-specific water quality standards for cyanide, a more thorough update to the National AWQC was warranted to apply our more current scientific understanding of cyanide toxicology to the derivation of aquatic life criteria. The present study was therefore undertaken to review and update knowledge of the aquatic toxicity of cyanide, and to develop recommended updates to the existing national AWQC to enhance the scientific basis of the concentrations and chemical forms of cyanide specified for protection of aquatic organisms. This update was conducted according to USEPA guidance for derivation of AWQC for protection of aquatic life, and is based both on an extensive literature review and on new toxicity studies that fill key data gaps. This re-evaluation of cyanide criteria also includes consideration of impacts on benthic (sediment) organisms, wildlife that consume aquatic biota, and possible effects to threatened and endangered species to ensure that revised criteria are adequately protective of the entire aquatic ecosystem.…

Hardcover. Condición: Very good. No jacket. First edition. First edition. 2 vols. 8vo. Original green cloth. The foundational document of American housing reform. Lawrence Veiller (18721959), working through the Charity Organization Society, mounted a Tenement House Exhibition in 1900 - over a thousand photographs, maps, charts and a vast cardboard model of a Lower East Side block, seen by ten thousand visitors - which secured the support of Governor Theodore Roosevelt and led to the creation of a state Tenement House Commission with Robert W. de Forest (18481931) as chairman and Veiller as secretary. Veiller did most of the work; the resulting investigation ran to nearly a thousand pages and produced the New York State Tenement House Act of 1901, which set standards for ventilation, sanitation, fire safety and occupancy limits in multi-family dwellings and became the model for comparable legislation across the country. The work sits directly alongside Riis's How the Other Half Lives as a primary source for Progressive Era social conditions, and is the more substantial of the two documentarily, though far less often seen in commerce as a set. Bookplate and ink name to front endpapers, minor toning to text-blocks;minor rubbing to extremities.
