Edwin Chadwick
Edwin Chadwick (1800-1890) was a British medical doctor who was convinced that living conditions influenced the chance of disease and death and was a strong proponent of social reform to benefit public health. Fresh clean water, sewage and water closets were improvements that Chadwick had proposed.[1]
Chadwick became the first president of the Association of Public Sanitary Inspectors, the predecessor to the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health.
