People were confined in factories with unsafe conditions and the air in industrial areas was poisoned with the smoke belching from the factories. Perhaps it became obvious to industrialists and the government that people had to be "kept on their feet" somehow. Don't make things safer or healthier for your workers because that would be too expensive; rather, devise some chemicals that will mask their symptoms and keep them at their posts.

I gardened public places for many years, including athletic fields, and know a lot of coaches. Asthmatics seldom turned up in their classes and teams until 20, 25 years ago. Now it's not uncommon for half their charges to use inhalers. It's more than allergies, California coaches now get inservice training to deal with respiratory emergencies. Answer is definitely blowing in the wind.Geo.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16221314320558128986noreply@blogger.com
