LED TO THE 1848 PHA
PROMOTION OF SANITATION -
CONSTRUCTION OF SEWAGE SYSTEMS,CLEAN WATER SUPPLIES AND WASTE REMOVAL SERVICES
JOHN SNOW: OVER TIME
FATHER OF MODERN EPIDEMIOLOGY
METHODS OF DISEASE INVESTIGATION IS STILL USED TODAY TO STUDY AND CONTROL DISEASE OUTBREAKS
PH IMPROVEMENTS - LED TO CHANGES IN PH POLICES REGARDING WATER SUPPLY AND SEWAGE TREATMENT INFLUENCING DEVELOPMENT OF MODERN SANITATION SYSTEMS
EDWIN CHADWICK:OVERTIME
FOUNDATION OF PH INFASTRUCTURE - INFLUENCED PH POLICES AND PRACTICES
JOHN SNOW: AT THE TIME
