By the industrialization there were serious
environmental hazards thanks to all the
machinery,
factories
and
mass
production. There was the deforestation,
so the trees could help clean the air and
give the oxygen so it had airborne
(factories emission) and more carbon
dioxide. Since the air, people’s water and
land was contaminated, all these diseases
came very strong and people had a weak
immune system that couldn’t attack them.
While cities where growing, the lack of
sanitation grew with it. Factories would
dump chemicals and waste in rivers and
streams, and that same water was used to
supply homes for washing and cooking.
Besides that, toilet facilities were
inadequate, wastes usually overflowing
into the rivers. Add to all these, the amount of immigrants coming into the cities from different areas of
the world.
Typhoid was one of the most common infections during the industrial revolution, caused by a bacterium
called Salmonella typhi, which is found on poorly cleaned water and food. It causes diarrhea rash, and
fever. This type of infection is more common in develo ping countries, due to the poorly hygienic
conditions people live in. However, during the industrial revolution, this disease was a global health
problem. Infected people carried this bacterium in their bodies, excreting it through their urine and feces.
This waste usually went into rivers, contaminating billions of people.
In conclusion this diseases changed the way the people lived, because by having a lot of people in one
place, drinking the same water that is infected and having the food poorly cleaned this didn’t help. After
all the disasters of the humans dying, they tried to make the best of their life by trying to clean where they
lived and being more healthier.
