History of Occupational Health
History of Occupational Health is my main research focus. I have been engaged in four research projects, three of them as principal investigator. In my PhD thesis (University of Granada, 1992) I explored workplace hazards and the role played by healthcare facilities and professionals in pre-industrial mercury mines in Almaden, a Spanish state-owned company that has been the world’s largest mercury producer and exporter for the past 450 years. I have also explored the professionalization of Occupational Medicine and the approach to occupational diseases such as silicosis, hookworm and asbestos-related diseases in contemporary Spain
