Review: Smoke Wars: Anaconda Copper, Montana Air Pollution, and the Courts, 1890-1920 By Donald MacMillan Reviewed by Dale A. Stirling Intertox, Inc., Seattle, Washington, USA Donald MacMillan. Smoke Wars: Anaconda Copper, Montana Air Pollution, and the Courts, 1890-1920. Helena, MT: Montana Historical Society Press, 2000. 296 pp. ISBN 0-917298-65-9 (paper). US$18.95 Donald Macmillan's doctoral dissertation A History of the Struggle to Abate Air Pollution from Copper Smelters of the Far West, 1885-1993, was edited posthumously and published in 2000 as Smoke Wars. The book begins with a lengthy introductory chapter by William L. Lang that reviews the genesis of the dissertation. In addition, Lang writes about the milieu of environmental history and Macmillan's place among other environmental historians and his work among other environmental histories. According to MacMillan, the struggle to abate copper smelter air pollution consisted of three distinct phases. Phase one, the war between the citizens of Butte and smelter owners, concerned issues of public health and well being. Phase two, the construction of the world's largest smelter in Deer Lodge Valley in 1902, concerned issues of property destruction. Phase three; the confrontation between the federal government and the most powerful of mining and smelting trusts, concerned issues of land conservation. Chapter 1, A Struggle for Health, Property, and Conservation, provides a very brief introduction to the book and presents a central thesis and theme- that the current conflict over air pollution in the smelting industry is not a mutation springing from an unknown parent. It is not a case of society suddenly changing the rules. The present conflict is the legacy of those earlier battles (p. 21). Chapter 2, The Humblest Citizen of Butte is Entitled at Least to Fresh Air, chapter 3, Bluffs Don't go in Smoke Wars, and chapter 4, The War of Wealth Against Health, examine the environmental and public health issues related to smelter smoke in Butte and surrounding communities between 1885 and 1900. MacMillan describes the physical setting and the early history of smelting and smelters. He also details the reported ill effects of smelter smoke on the environment, humans, and animals. Of special interest are the attempts by several so-called experts to abate smelter smoke using untested and suspect technologies. Some of these have corollaries in today's many remediation technologies-for the right price or

Stirling Intertox，Inc.）评论。烟雾战：Anaconda Copper，蒙大拿州空气污染和法院，1890年至1920年。蒙大拿州海伦娜：蒙大拿州历史学会出版社，2000年。296页，ISBN 0-917298-65-9（纸）。 US $ 18.95唐纳德·麦克米伦（Donald Macmillan）的博士论文《远西的铜冶炼厂努力减少大气污染的历史》，1885-1993年作遗书编辑，于2000年出版，《烟火大战》。本书以William L. Lang撰写的冗长的介绍性章节作为开篇，回顾了论文的起源。此外，Lang撰写了有关环境历史的环境以及Macmillan在其他环境历史学家中的位置以及他在其他环境历史中的著作。 MacMillan表示，减少铜冶炼厂空气污染的斗争包括三个不同的阶段。第一阶段是Butte市民与冶炼厂所有者之间的战争，涉及公共健康和福祉问题。第二阶段是1902年在Deer Lodge Valley建造世界上最大的冶炼厂，涉及财产破坏问题。第三阶段;联邦政府与最强大的采矿和冶炼信托之间的对抗涉及土地保护问题。第一章“健康，财产和保护的斗争”为书作了非常简短的介绍，并提出了一个中心论点和主题-当前冶炼行业中有关空气污染的冲突并不是源于不知名父母的突变。这不是社会突然改变规则的情况。目前的冲突是这些较早战争的遗产（第21页）。第2章“最不起眼的小山居民”获得了“新鲜空气最少”的权利，第3章“虚张声势不要参加烟雾战”，第4章“反对健康财富战争”，研究了与冶炼厂烟雾有关的环境和公共卫生问题于1885年至1900年间在比尤特（Butte）和周边社区居住。麦克米伦（MacMillan）描述了冶炼和冶炼厂的物理环境以及早期历史。他还详细介绍了冶炼厂烟气对环境，人类和动物的不良影响。特别令人感兴趣的是，几位所谓的专家试图使用未经测试和可疑的技术来减轻冶炼厂的烟气。其中一些具有当今许多修复技术的必然结果-以合适的价格或
