Historical aspects

One of my particular interests is in the history of carbon monoxide poisoning. I have quite a collection of old (some very old) medical research - a lot of it still very relevant to today.
I am planning to make a lot of this accessible through this site. To start with, clicking on this link will allow you to download a copy of a publication from 1970, in the Postgraduate Medical Journal. Medics from Newcastle describe their experiences of carbon monoxide over a three-year period. This was during a period when coal gas was piped into people's homes. The figures they cite are pretty amazing!
