[The French chemist M.-E. Chevreul (1786-1889) in several topics of public health]
Abstract:
Famed owing to his research works about fats and colours, the chemist M.-E. Chevreul was also greatly interested in public health. He expressed himself on this matter especially as member then chairman of the Advisory Committee of Crafts et Factories: set of laws on insanitary factories to be reconsidered, choices of processes which do not affect workers' health. He has relations with old pupils of the Polytechnics School: so he was at the beginning of Charles Freycinet's brilliant career. He read papers to the French Agricultural Society and Sciences Academy and was a juror of the academic committees of insanitary crafts.
