Description:
In October of 1948, an air inversion prevented industrial plant smoke and fumes from rising into the atmosphere above Donora, Pennsylvania. The resulting smog hovered over the small town and nearby communities, killing 20 people and sickening thousands. A federal investigation into the disaster paved the way for the Clean Air Act of 1963, and laid the groundwork for the Environmental Protection Agency. The Donora Smog Commemorative Committee is an non-profit dedicated to commemorating the memory of those who gave their lives in this tragic event.
