Resource summary
"Thames pollution and the great stink of 1858" and "London Bathing Season"
250 tones of waste discharge into Thames daily
By-products from slaughter houses and cattle yards flowed freely into river
As well as a dumping ground for waste the river was also a source of drinking water
The rise of industrial pollution from paper mills, tanneries, dye works and breweries was all deposited in the river
Summer 1858- unusually high temperatures
Drought
River dried up leaving the accumulation of waste products
Raw sewage+extreme heat=awful smell
Smell caused nausea and vomiting
People drank more water because of heat and feeling nauseous
Water was contaminated
Unclean drinking water resulted in the spread of diseases such as cholera
Because the Thames is a tidal river, the waste stayed in London instead of flowing out to sea as had been hoped
Being exposed to raw sewage caused illnesses such as cholera, typhoid, small pox and scarlett fever.
