Philip Drinker (December 12, 1894 in Haverford, Pennsylvania – October 19, 1972 in Fitzwilliam, New Hampshire) was an industrial hygienist. With Louis Agassiz Shaw, he invented the first widely used iron lung in 1928. ==Family and early life== Drinker's father was railroad man and Lehigh University president Henry Sturgis Drinker;〔 his siblings included lawyer and musicologist Henry Sandwith Drinker, Jr., pathologist Cecil Kent Drinker,〔 businessman James Drinker, and biographer Catherine Drinker Bowen.〔 After graduating from St. George's and Princeton in 1915,〔 Philip Drinker trained as a chemical engineer at Lehigh for two years.〔 Drinker was hired to teach industrial illumination and ventilation at Harvard Medical School〔 and soon joined his brother Cecil and colleagues Alice Hamilton and David L. Edsall on the faculty of the nascent Harvard School of Public Health〔 in 1921〔 or 1923.〔 He studied, taught, and wrote textbooks and scholarly works on a variety of topics in industrial hygiene;〔 the iron lung itself was originally designed in response to an industrial hygiene problem—coal gas poisoning〔—though it would become best known as a life-preserving treatment for polio. Charles Momsen credited Drinker "and his friends" for their assistance with gas-mixture experiments that ultimately made possible the rescue of the survivors of the USS ''Squalus'' in 1939.〔Momsen, Charles B. "Rescue and Salvage of U.S.S. ''Squalus''." Lecture delivered to the Harvard Engineering Society on October 6, 1939. (Text available online. ) Accessed March 17, 2007.〕 During World War II, Drinker directed the industrial hygiene program for the United States Maritime Commission.〔 After the war, he advised the Atomic Energy Commission.〔 Drinker served as editor-in-chief of ''The Journal of Industrial Hygiene'' for over thirty years〔 and, in 1942, as president of the American Industrial Hygiene Association, to which he had belonged since its inception.〔 He retired from Harvard in 1960〔 or 1961.〔 Drinker was inducted into the US National Inventor's Hall of Fame in 2007. He and his wife Susan〔"Philip Drinker." ''American Industrial Hygiene Association journal.'' May 1973: 34(5), 179-181. (Available online by subscription. )〕 had a son, bioengineer Philip A. Drinker,〔Sallans, Andrew. ("iron lung." online exhibit. ) University of Virginia, Claude Moore Health Sciences Library. 2005. Accessed March 18, 2007.〕 and 2 daughters, Susan Drinker Moran (1926-2010), author, and Eliza Scudder, educator. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Philip Drinker」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
