EcoSense for Living recently posted to PBS an excellent video on the Donora smog tragedy and how air pollution continues to affect people throughout the world. The Donora section highlights environmental epidemiologist Devra Davis, author of When Smoke Ran Like Water, a book exploring not just the Donora smog but also numerous other areas of pollution. It’s a great read, give it a look.
