Reforms in sanitation were needed in cities to improve public health and reduce the spread of diseases. Poor sanitation practices led to the contamination of drinking water sources, causing outbreaks of waterborne illnesses like cholera and typhoid. Implementing proper sanitation infrastructure such as sewage systems and waste disposal methods helped mitigate these health risks and improve overall living conditions in urban areas.

Prions are misfolded proteins that can cause other proteins to misfold, leading to neurodegenerative diseases in animals and humans. They are not alive and cannot be killed by typical methods like heat or disinfectants. Transmission of prions can occur through contaminated meat or tissue.
