After Flint, Helping Doctors Recognize Chemical Exposure

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cholera#Research

"One of the major contributions to fighting cholera was made by the physician and pioneer medical scientist John Snow (1813–1858), who in 1854 found a link between cholera and contaminated drinking water.[67] Dr. Snow proposed a microbial origin for epidemic cholera in 1849. In his major "state of the art" review of 1855, he proposed a substantially complete and correct model for the cause of the disease. In two pioneering epidemiological field studies, he was able to demonstrate human sewage contamination was the most probable disease vector in two major epidemics in London in 1854.[87] His model was not immediately accepted, but it was seen to be the more plausible, as medical microbiology developed over the next 30 years or so.
