Miasma is considered to be a poisonous vapor or mist that is filled with particles from decomposed matter (miasmata) that could cause illnesses and is identifiable by its nasty, foul smell (which, of course, came from the decomposed material).
William Farr, the assistant commissioner for the 1851 London census, was an important supporter of the miasma theory.
Miasma explained why cholera and other diseases were epidemic in places where the water was undrained and very foul-smelling.
