Filth, often referred to as squalor, describes a state of extreme cleanliness neglect, where living conditions are unhygienic and cluttered. This can include the accumulation of garbage, dirt, and other waste materials, leading to an unhealthy environment. Squalor can result from various factors, including poverty, mental health issues, or a lack of awareness about cleanliness. Living in squalor can have serious health implications, such as the spread of diseases and infestations by pests like rats and cockroaches. Addressing squalor often requires intervention from social services, mental health professionals, or community organizations to help individuals regain a safe and clean living space.
