Lehmann

LEHMANN Karl (Karl Bernhard Lehmann, b. 1858), a leading German hygienist. Lehmann's scientific works relate to all areas of experimental hygiene and physiology. Having held the chair of hygiene at the University of Würzburg for many years, Lehmann created his own school of hygienists, where hygienists from different countries constantly work and receive scientific training. Lehmann authored the main guides on general hygiene, bacteriology, and occupational hygiene, which are widely used in all countries of the world. Lehmann's exceptionally broad erudition is characterized by his numerous published works. Despite his advanced age, Lehmann continues to this day (1930) to head the department of hygiene and conduct scientific research. Lehmann is one of the editors of the journal "Archiv für Hygiene". Main works: "Die Methoden der praktischen Hygiene" (Wiesbaden, 1901; Russian ed.-St. Petersburg, 1903); "Kurzes Lehrbuch der Arbeits- und Gewerbehygiene" (Leipzig, 1919; Russian ed.-Moscow, 1923); together with R. Neumann-"Atlas und Grundriss der Bakteriologie und Lehrbuch der speziellen bakteriologischen Diagnostik" (Munich, 1910-12; latest ed.-Vol. I-II, Munich, 1927); "Die Bedeutung der Chromate für die Gesundheit der Arbeiter" (Berlin, 1914); "Die deutsche Bleifarbenindustrie vom Standpunkt der Hygiene" (Berlin, 1925).
