Donora Death Fog: A Look Back

Twenty-one people died over Halloween weekend in 1948 in Donora, a small mill town in southwestern Pennsylvania. The event led directly to the nation's first clean air act. Join author Andy McPhee for a fascinating webinar exploring the Donora Death fog, the worst air pollution disaster in the US. Andy will discuss how and why it happened, who it happened to, and what the aftermath of this tragedy looked like.
