Bad air (health)


"Any air considered noxious. Today, air filled with tobacco smoke might be considered ""bad air."" So might air contaminated by the emissions of power plants. In the past, bad air was termed a miasma, a poisonous vapor or mist believed to be made up of particles from decomposing material which could cause disease and which could be identified by its foul smell. See: Miasma."
