The Donora Death Fog

Donora's death mist "D-Town!" Will return to Canonsburg, a small suburban suburb of Pittsburgh. We joked that the only thing Donola has is a roller skate link, but for people who are not from D - town, even this is impossible. City restrictions Only professional roller skating players will dare to show off the elements of Donora. Of course, people, especially girls, never want to go to Donora by themselves.

Donola, Pennsylvania is a small town that everyone knows. The writer brilliantly depicts Donora in small towns where children live freely and their lives are generally easy to rural. When the author takes on the role of a child raised in a typical Donora family, please use a direct account. The short history of the steel mill starts in 1900 and is at the center of the ultimate development of the church, league club and Donora.

The history of simple air pollution in October 1928 formed a thick cloud in the Donora industrial city of Pennsylvania. A thick cloud crashed for 5 days, 6,000 people became ill, 20 people died in the town. In 1952 more than 3,000 people in London died in the so-called "murder mist". These incidents warn the federal government of the dangers posed by public health problems caused by air pollution and air pollutants. The first air purification law in 1963 was passed and funds for research and air purification were provided.

Traditionally, researchers have independently studied air quality and climate change. The scientific relationship between air quality and health dates back to extreme events decades ago like London Fog (1952) and Pennsylvania's Donora (1948). Researchers directly related thousands of excessive deaths and diseases to neighboring air pollution emissions in both cases. We now know that air pollution from various sources has various effects on health. There are even cost-effective ways to reduce emissions, such as motivating companies to take action in the market themselves. There is evidence that cleaner air is needed to completely eliminate health effects from air pollution, but it has a good track record.

Pollution gets worse and dies. It causes asthma and exacerbates pulmonary emphysema. In Donora in the southern part of Pittsburgh, the reversal of the air in 1948 plummeted into the smoke of the Monongahela Valley. Emissions from toxic steel and zinc plants are mixed with fog and are very dense to form a cloud of yellow earth that can not be driven. Within a few days, 20 people died. In that month another 50 of the 14,000 residents of the town were murdered. Long before the scientists linked it to global climate change, preventable death is the reason my union, the steelworker federation (USW), has fought pollution for decades. This relationship makes the fight against pollution even more urgent. It obliges us to save the earth for future generations. Last year we signed a Paris climate agreement promising the United States to keep our common water and air for our children and their children.
