De Morbis Artificum Diatriba (Treaty on Workers' Diseases) was the first book written specifically about occupational illness.[1] It was written by Bernardino Ramazzini while he was living in Padua, and was published in Latin in 1700. The book has been cited by Adam Smith, Karl Marx, and Cotton Mather, and is considered a seminal work in the field of occupational medicine.[2] It describes between 53 and 69 different professions, and includes analytical and methodological approaches to diagnose and prevent diseases associated with them.[1][3] It was the first book to consider substance exposure as a cause of headaches.[4]
