Environmental Deception

You simply must read the electrifying book by Devra Davis titled “When Smoke Ran Like Water, Tales of environmental deception and the battle against pollution.” Davis, a world renowned epidemiologist, confronts the public triumphs and private failures of the public health community’s long battle against environmental pollution.

In the riveting book, Davis begins with her childhood when she was exposed to some of the worst toxins known to man in her home town of Donora, Pennsylvania. The book reads like a detective novel, the bad guys being industrial polluters and government collaborators. It is hard to put down. Hear Devra Davis on NPR by clicking here.
