Within first few chapters of "Lord of The Mysteries" was a factory worker that died from lead poisoning.
The factory owner was praised for being a philanthropist until that part. He would even let people take unpaid time off for health reasons.
But not working for weeks would definetely bankrupt every worker at the time so people kept working.
When they animated the book it was left out sadly. Maybe they will mention it later?
