X-WR-CALDESC:True Story Book Club\n\nDonora Death Fog: Clean Air and the Tr
 agedy of a Pennsylvania Mill Town by Andy McPhee (324 p.)\n\nIn October 19
 48\, a seemingly average fog descended on the tiny mill town of Donora\, P
 ennsylvania. With a population of fewer than fifteen thousand\, the town’s
  main industry was steel and zinc mills—mills that continually emitted pol
 lutants into the air. The six-day smog event left twenty-one people dead a
 nd thousands sick. Even after the fog lifted\, hundreds more died or were 
 left with lingering health problems. Donora Death Fog details how six fate
 ful days in Donora led to the nation’s first clean air act in 1955\, and h
 ow such catastrophes can lead to successful policy change. Andy McPhee tel
 ls the very human story behind this ecological disaster: how wealthy indus
 trialists built the mills to supply an ever-growing America\; how the town
 ’s residents—millworkers and their families—willfully ignored the danger o
 f the mills’ emissions\; and how the gradual closing of the mills over the
  years following the tragedy took its toll on the town.\n
