According to the passage, the term environmental health ----.
Environmental health has biologic, chemical, physical
and sociological components, including the immediate
and future conditions in which people live. In colonial
America, little attention was paid to community hygiene
and sanitation, and there was almost a complete lack of
community organisation for better health services.
During this time, epidemics of cholera, smallpox and
dysentery continually occurred. Although such
epidemics were attributed to environmental health
hazards such as overcrowding, inadequate housing and
impure water, little was done to improve these
conditions. Early attempts to ensure environmental
health included a law in 1610 that prohibited the
throwing out of water from dirty clothes into the street,
and required people to do the necessities of nature
outside the town. Those who violated the law were often
subjected to strict penalties. Such measures were more
concerned with the aesthetics of the environment than
with related health consequences, and environmental
practices were frequently directed at keeping the
environment attractive.
