📘 GIST: What the World Smelled Like Before Industrialization

Gist Summary:
Prior to industrialization, urban environments in Britain and the U.S. were characterized by intense organic odors stemming from human and animal waste, decaying matter, and various trades. The absence of modern sanitation meant that cities were permeated with the smells of open sewers, manure, and decomposing refuse. Industries like tanneries and slaughterhouses further contributed to the pungent atmosphere. With the advent of industrialization and improved sanitation in the mid-1800s, these organic odors diminished, giving way to synthetic scents and cleaner urban air.(History Facts)
