Jersey City, New Jersey, was the first urban city to use chlorine to clean up its water.
At certain times of the year, sewage water polluted the reservoir and the city water.
By 1936, with the widespread introduction of clean water technologies to municipal water, overall mortality was reduced from infectious causes by about 43%. In 1941, it was estimated that 85% of US drinking water was chlorinated.
Clean water technologies, sand filtration combined with chlorination, reduced typhoid fever mortality by more than 90% by 1956.
"Our results also suggest that clean water was responsible for a 74% decline in infant mortality and nearly 62% decline in child mortality. The magnitude of these effects is striking. Clean water also appears to have led to the near eradication of typhoid fever [and other] scourges such as pneumonia, tuberculosis, meningitis, diphtheria, and croup. Clean water technologies are likely the most important public health intervention of the 20th Century."
Despite these - and many other failures - vaccination is continually promoted as one of the "Greatest medical achievements of modern civilisation." The real heroes, the technology that changed the course of history and public health, are rarely mentioned: clean water, sewage treatment for municipalities and electricity to support refrigeration.
Most of the poor have no access to clean drinking water or reliable sanitation.
