Fumigation Declining as a Disinfectant Across Reports
The Journal of the American Medical Association notes routine room fumigation is being questioned as a preventive measure for infectious diseases. Providence health authorities show no clear rise in secondary cases when disinfection is reduced. Studies in New York and other cities since 1918 omit terminal disinfection for scarlet fever and similar illnesses. The main infection danger now appears to come from direct transmission by convalescents and carriers rather than environmental spread. Focus shifts to addressing infection sources rather than frequent fumigation with germicidal gas.
