Experiments Upon Vegetables: Discovering Their Great Power Of Purifying The Common Air In The Sunshine (1779) is a book written by John Ingen-Housz, a Dutch physician and scientist. The book details Ingen-Housz's experiments on the ability of plants to purify the air. He discovered that plants, when exposed to sunlight, have the power to convert carbon dioxide into oxygen, thereby purifying the air. This was a groundbreaking discovery at the time, as it challenged the prevailing belief that air was a stagnant substance that could not be purified. The book includes detailed descriptions of Ingen-Housz's experiments, as well as his observations on the effects of different types of plants on air purification. It also includes a discussion of the implications of his findings for the health and well-being of humans and animals. Overall, Experiments Upon Vegetables is a significant contribution to the history of science, and a fascinating exploration of the power of plants to transform our environment.And Of Injuring It In The Shade And At Night, To Which Is Joined, A New Method Of Examining The Accurate Degree Of Salubrity Of The Atmosphere.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
