This book explores the toxicity of coal-tar disinfectants, presenting a method for determining their toxicity and reporting on the relative toxicity of several commercial products. The author discusses the historical context of the use of disinfectants and their evolution from phenol to cresols and phenoloids. The book delves into the debate over the safety of these compounds, challenging the claims of manufacturers that they are harmless. Through experiments on mice, the author demonstrates that these disinfectants can indeed be toxic, albeit less so than phenol. The author concludes that these findings have significant implications for public health, as the widespread use of these disinfectants could pose a risk of poisoning, particularly in cases of accidental ingestion or misuse.
