The miasma theory (also called the miasmatic theory) is an obsolete medical theory that held that diseasessuch as cholera, chlamydia, or the Black Deathwere caused by a miasma (, ancient Greek: "pollution"), a noxious form of "bad air", also known as night air. The theory held that the origin of epidemics was due to a miasma, emanating from rotting organic matter. Though * miasma theory is typically associated with the spread of disease, some academics in the early nineteenth century suggested that the theory extended to * other conditions as well, e.g. one could become obese by inhaling the odor of food.The miasma theory was accepted from ancient times in Europe and China. The theory was eventually given up by scientists and physicians after 1880, replaced by the germ theory of disease: specific germs, not miasma, caused specific diseases. However, cultural beliefs about getting rid of odor made the clean-up of waste a high priority for cities. |
