According to Riegelman and Kirkwood, communicable diseases “can be transmitted from person to person or from animals or the physical environment to humans” (2015, p. 136)…

His work at the Broad Street Pump was a major contributor of this concept. The Broad Street Pump was the deadly cause of cholera in London many years ago. He convinced town officials to take the handle of the pump so that no one could get any contaminated water. With Snow’s investigation of where the cholera was coming from, he helped pave the way for many…
