Every relation drawn, in words5
  1. PERSON_EDWIN_CHADWICK · influenced · Sanitation and water treatment

    Chadwick's 1842 sanitary report turned urban mortality into a statistical argument and drove the British public health legislation that built the drainage and water systems, on a mechanism (miasma) that was wrong.

  2. The rise in life expectancy at birth · caused_by · The collapse of infant and child mortality

    Moving deaths out of infancy raises the cohort mean by decades per death averted, which is why life expectancy at birth rose so much further than life expectancy at sixty-five.

  3. The rise in life expectancy at birth · caused_by · Sanitation and water treatment

    Clean water supply, sewerage separation, filtration and chlorination are the single largest identified contributor to the modern mortality decline.

  4. Sanitation and water treatment · affects · The collapse of infant and child mortality

    Waterborne diarrhoeal disease killed disproportionately in the first two years of life, so water treatment acted most strongly on infant mortality.

  5. John Snow · influenced · Sanitation and water treatment

    Snow established that cholera travelled in water rather than air, which is the reasoning that made separating sewage from drinking supply the specific remedy.
