Da quanto tempo abbiamo capito che i virus viaggiano attraverso l'aria? Quali erano nei secoli passati
le credenze e le teorie, più o meno scientifiche, usate per spiegare il diffondersi delle
epidemie. In questa puntata parleremo di qualità dell’aria, miasmi, contaminazioni e per stare
allegri anche di pozzi neri e cimiteri. Seguici in questo viaggio che inizia nell’Antica Grecia e
giunge fino al Grande Smog di Londra del ‘52.
