This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1867 edition. Excerpt: ... iii. applications of disinfectants. the selection of a disinfectant is governed by the particular circumstances of each case. No single disinfectant is capable of fulfilling every indication. The agent which may be most effectual in destroying gaseous poisons, or aerial morbific matters, may be entirely inapplicable to the disinfection of solids and liquids. As a general rule, if we wish simply to deodorize air, we employ an oxidizing disinfectant in the gaseous form. If we wish to destroy morbific germs, we must select an agent capable of attacking them. If it is our object to arrest putrefactive fermentation, we make use of a colytic, or of a disinfectant having a mineral base which will form an insoluble compound with the organic matter. This branch of the subject, then, is naturally divisible into--1. Disinfection of air. 2. Disinfection of solids and liquids. 1. Disinfection Of Air. The forces of nature are, when not interfered with by man, adequate to the work of maintaining our atmosphere in a healthy state. The carbonic acid, continually added to the atmosphere by combustion and by respiration of men and animals, is removed by the respiration of plants, which fix the carbon of the carbonic acid in their structures and set free the oxygen. This reciprocal duty, carried on with fixed regularity, has maintained an unvarying uniformity in the composition of our atmosphere. Vast quantities of gaseous and volatile impurities from the habitations of men and from decomposing animal and vegetable matter, and minute solid particles, enter the atmosphere; the gases combine by diffusion with the whole body of the air; some of the impurities are destroyed by oxidation, and disappear, and others, dissolved in the rain, are carried back to the...
