	Encyclopedia of Public Health \| Pott, Percivall (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Percivall Pott (1713–1788) was a surgeon in London, England.
		He described the cause and appearance of a particular type of fractured wrist, known ever since as Pott's fracture, and he was the first to describe the deformity of the spine caused by collapse of a vertebra due to tuberculosis, now known as Pott's disease.
		Pott correctly deduced that the prevalence of cancer of the scrotum among chimney sweeps was associated with the coal tar that accumulated in the creases of the sweeps' scrotal skin.

	Percivall Pott Summary
		Pott had read widely in ancient and medieval medical texts, but in his practice he chose to rely solely on personal experience and first-hand knowledge, and thus was able to discern a cause for cancer in the environment and to develop a cure with wide surgical excision.
		Percivall Pott was one of eighteenth-century's preeminent physicians and surgeons.
		Because of Pott's observation in 1775 that cancer of the scrotum in chimney sweepers was caused by long-term exposure to soot, he is regarded as a pioneer in the fields of chemical carcinogenesis and occupational medicine.

		In other cases of a cancerous nature, in which the habit is too frequently concerned, are have not often so fair a prospect of success by the removal of the distempered part; and are obliged to be content with means, which I wish I could say were truly palliative.
		Pott has so accurately described, appears to be produced by some peculiar acrimonious quality in soot, when incorporated and fermenting with the secretions an the skin of some persons, whose constitutions are disposed to undergo a certain change, or receive a new modification of their inherent properties.
		Pott seemed to suppose that this species of cancer was peculiar to chimney-sweepers; but I have strong grounds for thinking that he was mistaken in that idea.

	Occupation
		Some 40 years later, certain constituents of tar, soot, and oils, known as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, were found to cause cancer in laboratory animals, thus identifying the specific substances causing cancer among workers in these occupations.
		Preventive action was taken in Denmark, where the chimney sweeps' guild, spurred by Pott's report, urged its members to take daily baths.
		The success of this action was noted in a report in the 1892 British Medical Journal, "Why Foreign Sweeps Do Not Suffer From Scrotal Cancer," which pointed out that the sweeps of Northern Europe seemed to benefit from this hygiene measure, but English sweeps, who apparently ignored such recommendations, continued to develop cancer.
