I read on a manuscript the term unhealthful. It appeared as :
"The environment has become unhealthful due to foul odor coming from piles of garbage and scattered wastes."
The word is unfamiliar to me and Google gave me a 13-year old result regarding the use of the word.

Is this true? or the word unhealthful have some special and rare uses?
Farlex Dictionary has a definition for the word, so as Oxford under the British-English option, but Merriam does not.
