Butte and Anaconda, Montana are today hosts to the largest Superfund cleanup site in the US. This volume provides a history of the origins of the air pollution and toxic emissions in the copper mining and smelting communities of the area, from the struggle in Butte to abolish heap roasting beginning in the late 19th century to the legal battles in the 20th century to limit toxic emmissions. The study raises issues of corporate responsibility, the rights of citizens, the costs of industrialization, and the relative value of the environment. Annotation c.
