Housing and Health--A New Approach.

The article focuses on the health-related housing and sanitation problems in the U.S. These problems had to do with the absence of the public domain service systems such as portable water, sewerage and solid waste disposal and were aggravated by pressures of household crowding resulting from the shortage of suitable dwelling units for migrants from countryside areas. It was mentioned that severe health and safety burdens are now imposed on people living with poorly functioning boilers, broken plumbing systems, rotating window frames and missing window guards, harborages for insects and rodents, and others.
