Was the Miasma theory correct?
The Miasma theory, which posited that diseases were caused by "bad air" or noxious vapors emanating from decomposing organic matter, was widely accepted until the late 19th century. While it correctly identified the importance of environmental factors in disease transmission, it lacked an understanding of microorganisms. The advent of germ theory, which identified specific pathogens as the cause of diseases, ultimately replaced miasma theory. Thus, while miasma theory highlighted some relevant aspects of public health, it was fundamentally incorrect in its causal explanations.
