here you’re from often is impossible to separate from who you are. Devra Davis, an epidemiologist and Nobel Prize winner who lives in Wilson, was shaped by her childhood in Donora, Penn. In 1948, while she was still a toddler, her hometown was blanketed in a toxic cloud of air pollutants from U.S. Steel’s Donora Zinc Works and American Steel & Wire plant. For four days in October, an acrid fog of sulfuric acid, nitrogen dioxide, fluorine and other poisonous
gases built up in an inversion. Four people died quickly. Another 50 deaths were attributed to the pollution. The New York Times called it “one of the worst air pollution disasters in the nation’s history.” Afterward, Davis said, there were two things people never talked about: pollution and the Holocaust. The latter was proscribed because it was so recent and the former because it had to continue, she said. “People depended on the factory to survive,” Davis said. “It was literally a company town.” She learned about the U.S. Steel disaster in college at the University of Pittsburgh. “I remember coming home and asking, ‘Was there another Donora?’ ” she said, “because I read a book in college that talked about Donora.” See NOBEL PRIZE o n 21
