Question

Advantages and disadvantages of the miasma theory

Answer 1

$\huge\red{\mathcal{♡Answer:-}}$

The miasma theory of disease did have a positive effect on modern human preventive health history: avoiding infectious diseases meant cleaning the streets of garbage, sewage, animal carcasses, and wastes that were features of urban living at the time.

$\pink{\mathcal {\boxed{Advantages\:of\:Miasma\:Theory:}}}$

The most widely accepted notion of infection was the miasma theory. The resulting gases or miasms produced diseases. Supporters of the miasma theory felt that cholera was one such condition caused by noxious odors of decayed matter. The miasma theory was very appealing to English sanitary reformers.

$\pink{\mathcal {\boxed{Disadvantages\:of\:Miasma\:Theory:}}}$

In miasma theory, it was believed that diseases were caused by the presence in the air of a miasma, a poisonous vapour in which were suspended particles of decaying matter that was characterised by its foul smell. The theory originated in the Middle Ages and endured for several centuries.
