SMOG: Death at Donora

of the zinc smelter plant which, he
said, emitted acid fumes.
''The gas is of a very toxic variety
and had been escaping for years." he
explained, "but because fog had not
tied it down, it didn't cause illness" ."
Similar Case in Belgium
The Donora disaster recalled a mvs-
terious fog which settled over the
Meuse Valley in Belgium in Decem-
Der, 1880, killing 70 persons. For
weeks, doctors, chemists and public
officials studied the problem. An off,
cial commission published a report
concluding that the fog, combined
with smoke from the Liege industrial
area, was mainly responsible.
The report referred to the fog and
unusual atmospheric conditions at the
time. The temperature was around
freezing and the humidity was heavy
due to previous floods.
Atmospheric conditions in the Bel
gian valley changed after six days
and the mysterious smog disappeared.
It never has returned.
