Question

The work of ________ lead to improvements in sewage control and other public hygiene measures.
A) John Snow
B) Lazzaro Spallanzani
C) Florence Nightingale
D) Ignaz Semmelweis
E) Joseph Lister

Accepted Answer

John Snow is credited with identifying the source of a cholera outbreak in London in 1854 by mapping cases of the disease and finding a common water source. This discovery led to improvements in sewage control and other public hygiene measures, ultimately reducing the spread of disease. The other options may have contributed to improvements in public health, but they did not specifically focus on sewage control and public hygiene.
