Factory pollution was a prevailing issue within all the factories of the Industrial They were the cause of many physical deformities and diseases, especially in young factory workers. The root cause of the sickness was the contaminated atmosphere produced by so many workers breathing in a confined space, as well as the heat and exhalations of grease, oil and gas needed to light the establishments.

Caused by contamination, factory pollution and poor work conditions, they heavily affected the physical growth and development of these young boys and girls. His body, like many of the other workers, formed a physical deformity, specifically in his right wrist.
