German Law Bans Phosphorus Use in Matches
The Reichstag passed a law barring white or yellow phosphorus in match making after January 1 1908. Interior Secretary von Posadowsky-Wehner warned denying proof of phosphorus harm to bone structure is like ignoring the sun. He said phosphorus causes delayed bone necrosis and can be hereditary, affecting families. Wurm urged an operative date of January 4 1905 but opponents sought delays over patent process concerns.
