      1913 webster

   syn: noxious; unwholesome; insalubrious; mischievous;
        destructive.

   usage: noisome, noxious. these words have to a great
          extent been interchanged; but there is a tendency to
          make a distinction between them, applying noxious to
          things that inflict evil directly; as, a noxious
          plant, noxious practices, etc., and noisome to things
          that operate with a remoter influence; as, noisome
          vapors, a noisome pestilence, etc. noisome has the
          additional sense of disqusting. a garden may be free
          from noxious weeds or animals; but, if recently
          covered with manure, it may be filled with a noisome
          smell.
