Sewer systems fall into the category "out of sight, out of mind" – they seldom excite interest. But when things go wrong with the air in the sewer system, they go very wrong. Consequences can be dramatic and devastating: sewer workers killed instantly by poisonous gas when they lift a sewer lid, or entire suburban blocks levelled by explosions. This book describes the atmospheric dangers commonly found in the sewer system. It provides easily-understood explanations of the science behind the hazards, combined with real-life examples of when things went dramatically wrong.

Excerpt from Sewer-Gas and Its Dangers: With an Exposition of Common Defects in House Drainage, and Practical Information Relating to Their Remedy This is not a scientific treatise on sewer-gas, nor does it undertake to impart technical information on plumbing and the construction of house drains. It is the result of investigations made by an impartial inquirer in this city for the purpose of ascertaining to what extent that bane of city life, sewer-gas, is responsible for sickness and discomfort. An inquiry into the effects of the poisonous gas in a single instance in the month of July, 1879, suggested a possibility of similar results in other houses than the one examined. Investigations from that time were systematically pursued, and the astonishing prevalence of sewer-gas poisoning, and consequent illness and death in every part of the city, among all classes and in houses of the best as well as the poorest construction, gradually developed. These continued through the remainder of the Summer and Fall of that year, and were again taken up and pursued during the Winter just passed.
