Horrible Health and Safety Histories: Cotton Mills
May 15, 2018Some cotton mill owners would install a fan at one end of the carding room to carry off the cotton dust, but many chose not to as it was a large expense that brought in no profit. This meant that, as an article in the medical journal the Lancet noted in 1863, 'A carder seldom lives in a cardroom beyond forty years of age.
