Sanitary Movement
The term Sanitary Movement and sanitary movement called an English hygiene movement in the first half of the 19th century. It is linked to the development of " public health " through street hygiene, sewerage, water closets and fresh water supply. Edwin Chadwick's Report from the Poor Law Commissioners on an Inquiry into the Sanitary Conditions of the Laboring Population of Great Britain (1842) initiated the Public Health Act (1848) and the establishment of the Board of Health . Reformers in the USA were also inspired by this.
